a Pakistani academic specializing in Information Security, Cryptography, and IoT/IIoT Security, currently serving as a Lecturer in Computer Science at Hamdard University (Islamabad, Pakistan) since 2019. He holds a PhD in Computer Science (Information Security, Hazara University, 2022, CGPA 3.83/4) with a thesis on "Provable Secured and Lightweight Signcryption Schemes for IoT," an MS in Computer Science (Hazara University, 2016, CGPA 3.78/4), and an MCS (Gomal University, 2012).
With over 5 years of teaching experience, he has published 58 academic works (57 journals + 1 conference), including 30+ papers in JCR-indexed journals (e.g., IEEE Internet of Things Journal IF=10.238, IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics IF=11.648). His research focuses on lightweight cryptography (hyperelliptic curve-based signcryption), privacy-preserving schemes for IoT/IoV/UAVs, and secure communication in medical IoT (IoMT).
He actively contributes to academia as a reviewer for 34 top journals (20+ IEEE journals, Elsevier, Springer) and a Technical Program Committee member for international workshops (e.g., DLWoT 2021/2023). He has also served as a Guest Editor for IET Networks and holds technical expertise in formal security analysis (AVISPA, Scyther) and cryptographic implementation (C++).
