During his PhD studies, Hadi researched on compressing data using data deduplication in cloud storage systems. Data deduplication is an emerging technique to decrease the size of the data in storage systems. Hadi Sehat studied how novel data deduplication methods can be used to protect the privacy of data while it allows effective reduction of the size of the data.

 The new research findings contribute towards novel methods for privacy-preserving data deduplication in Cloud storage systems and how these methods can be utilized for efficient functionality of such systems.

The PhD study was completed at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Faculty of Technical Sciences, Aarhus University.

This summary was prepared by the PhD student.
