Academic Profile

I am a Senior Lecturer and researcher with extensive experience in cybersecurity, data science, intelligent systems, communication networks, and applied industrial systems, combining over two decades of academic teaching, curriculum development, and hands-on industry leadership. I hold a PhD in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and have taught a wide range of undergraduate and graduate courses in cybersecurity, computer science, data mining, communication networks, operating systems, data structures, disaster recovery, and information systems.

Alongside my academic career, I bring more than ten years of senior management and industrial experience, during which I led and managed a large organization of approximately 400 employees. In this role, I was responsible for organizational strategy, technology transformation, and quality governance. I successfully implemented and operationalized international ISO standards, with particular emphasis on ISO 9001 quality management systems and ISO/IEC 27001 information security management systems. I was directly involved in developing and partially documenting ISMS policies and procedures, contributing to a structured 27-page ISMS framework.

A major component of my industrial experience involved the automation of organizational systems. I led and executed the end-to-end automation of both software and hardware infrastructures, including enterprise information systems, operational workflows, and technical platforms. Through extensive system automation initiatives, I improved efficiency, reliability, security, scalability, and traceability across multiple organizational units. This experience strengthened my ability to translate managerial objectives into practical, technology-driven engineering solutions.

My academic and professional work focuses on the design, analysis, and governance of secure, resilient, and data-driven digital systems, particularly within complex networked and industrial environments.
