I am a PhD student in Electrical Engineering and Telecommunication (EE&T) at the University of New South Wales (UNSW), and Data61, CSIRO. Australia. I am working under the supervision of Mohamed Ali (Dali) Kaafar. My PhD research work focuses on the privacy of mobile and wearable devices (Internet of Things). I aim to identify and combat privacy threats on mobile and wearable devices through the quantification and analysis of user behavioural biometrics.

My previous work experiences include working as a visiting scholar at the Sandia National Laboratories (SNL), Albuquerque, NM, and at the Cyber Security Policy and Research Institute, The George Washington University (GW) in Washington, D. C. My research work in both these institutions focused on risk measurement and evaluation of critical infrastructures, through threat models and risk methodologies.

I made multifaceted contributions at NUST School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (SEECS), Pakistan, firstly as a Researcher, and then as a Lecturer. As a Research Assistant at KTH-Applied Information Security Lab (AIS), I conducted research in the area of Cloud computing with main emphasizes towards trust measurement & evaluation, secure virtualization, access control, and identity management systems of Cloud computing. More specifically, I designed and implemented security solutions for mitigating the security challenges at SaaS delivery model of cloud.
