About me

With over 15 years of experience spanning both industry and academia, I am a highly motivated computer scientist with extensive expertise in Information and Communication Systems Security, Public Key Cryptography, Cryptanalysis, Secure Mobile Application Development, Source Code Cloning Detection, and Software Engineering.

Currently, I hold the esteemed position of Senior Lecturer at UWE Bristol. Prior to this, my career path included roles such as Lecturer Cybersecurity at University Centre Leeds, Assistant Professor at Shifa Tameer-e-Millat University, Islamabad and Lecturer at COMSATS University Islamabad, Pakistan. In these roles, I have consistently demonstrated a dedication to fostering knowledge and skills in computer science students by teaching undergraduate and graduate courses, designing engaging learning materials for both online and in-person settings, supervising student-related activities, and actively participating in curriculum development and program accreditation initiatives.

My academic background reflects a strong foundation in computer science. I hold a Ph.D. in Software Engineering from Tsinghua University. I also possess a Master's degree from KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm Sweden.

My commitment to research excellence is evidenced by my publication of serveral papers in good journals. My research interests include Information and Communication Systems Security, IoT Security, Public Key Cryptography, Cryptanalysis, Post-Quantum Cryptography, and Source Code Cloning Detection. Furthermore, I actively contribute to the development of future generations of researchers by supervising and co-supervising R&D projects for students. My expertise is also recognized through my role as a reviewer for prestigious journals and conferences.

Beyond my current position, my professional journey encompasses a diverse range of experiences in academia and Industry. My dedication extends beyond academia and professional pursuits. I am an active member of the IEEE (Young Professionals & Communications Society) and the International Association for Cryptologic Research (IACR). Additionally, I consistently review for journals and conferences, driven by a passion for knowledge sharing. This passion is reflected in my development and delivery of training courses on mobile security, IT security, and programming. I have also presented lectures on emerging cybersecurity topics and spearheaded participation in program accreditation initiatives.
