Research Focus

I investigate secure communication protocols and intrusion detection for wireless sensor networks and the Internet of Things. By addressing security at the protocol level, I aim to enable safer deployment of IoT in healthcare, smart cities, and industry.

IoT Security

Identifying vulnerabilities in low-power devices and designing efficient algorithms that detect anomalies without draining device resources.

View Projects

Intrusion Detection

Developing deep-learning-based IDS for IPv6 networks, achieving 95% accuracy in simulations to protect emerging technologies.

View Projects

AI & ML Applications

Leveraging Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning techniques to solve complex problems and improve security mechanisms.

Teaching Philosophy

"I strive to make learning active and applied."

In my courses on Cybersecurity and Networks, I combine lectures with hands-on labs where students configure firewalls and simulate attacks. I emphasize collaborative projects, peer instruction, and regular code reviews.

My goal is for students to build real-world skills; many have gone on to top software firms. I also mentor students in our security lab, guiding them to publish their work.
