About Me

I'm a Lecturer at Central Queensland University (CQU) Sydney Campus. My main teaching and research interests include Internet of Things (IoT), Computer Networking, Mobile technologies, health ICT, Security, and Privacy.

I'm currently co-supervising a PhD student in the area of Machine Learning and 4 Master students in the areas of Human-Computer Interaction, predictive analytics for COVID-19 and IoT.

Before joining CQU, I was the Academic Manager of Victoria University Sydney Campus. The VU Sydney team comprised of five Course Coordinators across the College of Business and the College of Engineering and Science, the Learning Support Advisors team, the Academic Support Officers team, and the Academic Teaching team, which included over 70 academics, and a cohort of 4000 students.

Outside academia, I held the positions of IT manager, and consultant for a number of international companies across the world (Ghana, Lebanon, and Australia). I have also worked in various short-term roles as a Business Analyst, IT consultant and Software Engineer. I've consistently delivered complex and medium-scale projects on time and within budget.

I actively write to the Conversation and I'm always open for new research opportunities and collaborations.
