My academic journey began with a BSc in Computer Science, followed by an MSc in Computer Science from Liverpool John Moores University. I completed my PhD in Information Systems at the University of Greenwich, London, in 2022, focusing on IoT-edge-cloud computation offloading for decision-making in IoT environment.
Within my current role at CCCU (in addition to teaching and learning), I am the School of Engineering, Technology, and Design Lead for Quality, Partnership, and PSRB (Professional, Statutory, and Regulatory Bodies). In addition, I work as an Academic Link Tutor (ALT), fostering collaboration between CCCU and various esteemed national and international partners, including CDS-DS (UK) and MSMK (Spain). Furthermore, I supervise postgraduate students in the fields of IoT, energy consumption, cybersecurity, and AI.
Before my current role as a Senior Lecturer at CCCU, I gained valuable experience in teaching, learning, research, and academia as a Lecturer. I have also worked as a Research Fellow and Research Assistant at the University of Greenwich, contributing to two EU H2020 projects: RESCUER (First Responder Centred Support Toolkit for Operating in Adverse and Infrastructure-less Environments) and C4IIoT (Cybersecurity 4.0 - Protecting the Industrial Internet of Things).
Prior to my involvement in these research projects, I worked on various quantitative research endeavours within the Centre for Public Health at Liverpool John Moores University. Additionally, I worked as a Lecturer of Computer Science at the University of Babylon. My career began as a software developer, providing me with a practical foundation for my later work in computing and cybersecurity.
