| Jun 04, 2025 | I’m thrilled to share that I delivered a seminar last week on “Advanced Deep Learning-Driven Radio Frequency Fingerprinting for Securing IoT and UAV Systems in Dynamic Wireless Environments” for the defense scientists team at Defence Research and Development Canada, Ottawa. The presentation sparked meaningful discussions, and I’m honored to receive a Certificate of Appreciation for my contribution! A big thank you to Defence Research and Development Canada Ottawa Research Centre (DRDC Ottawa) for the opportunity and positive feedback. This work, part of my PhD research, focuses on robust authentication in contested environments, a growing defense priority. I’m grateful for the support from my director of research, Prof. Abdellah Chehri at the Royal Military College of Canada/Collège militaire royal du Canada, who made this possible. |
| May 26, 2025 | I had the privilege of presenting one of our latest research on “Audio Recognition-based Method for RF Transmitters Classification using CNN-LSTM model” at the IEEE Canadian Conference on Electrical and Computing Engineering held at The University of British Columbia, Vancouver. Our work explores how audio recognition techniques can enhance RF device identification and authentication. Beyond presenting our research, I also participated in David Newman, PhD fascinating workshop on team creativity and design thinking using LEGO® Serious Play® methods. What started as an unconventional approach quickly proved to be incredibly effective for exploring team dynamics and fostering innovation. The hands-on activities provided fresh perspectives on collaborative problem-solving that I’m excited to apply in both academic and professional settings. The conference showcased the diverse applications of engineering research - from cybersecurity and machine learning to creative methodologies that enhance team performance. It’s conferences like these that remind me why I love being part of the engineering community. Thank you to all the organizers, fellow researchers, and workshop facilitators who made this such a valuable experience. Looking forward to implementing these new insights in future projects! |
| Apr 17, 2024 | I recently had the privilege of delivering my first keynote talk at BDIoT conference held in Fez-Morocco (the home of the oldest university in the world - University of al-Qarawiyyin). I shared my insights on the critical issue of cybersecurity in the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) era. As I got more into this topic, it became clear to me that the battle between AI-powered cybersecurity and AI-enhanced cyberattacks is one of the most significant challenges we face today. This game is just starting, but I’m hopeful that by using AI responsibly and understanding its implications, we can build a more secure future for the industrial sector and beyond. If you’re interested in learning more about my thoughts on this critical topic, I invite you to read the full article I’ve written: https://lnkd.in/e6RbZYtV #IoT #IIoT #Cybersecurity #AI #MachineLearning #IndustrialSecurity #IndustryInsights |
