Biography

  • I joined KFUEIT in July 2021 as an Assistant Professor in IT Department. I have been in the field of higher education since 2002. After an initial teaching experience with courses in Binary College, Malaysia for one semester and at Stamford College, Malaysia for around four years where I taught University Northumbria, USM, Penang Franchise degrees. I later relocated to Saudi Arabia .I worked with King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals (KFUPM), Saudi Arabia from September 2006 till December 2014. In January 2015, I was officially transferred to University of Hafr Al-Batin, Saudi Arabia where I worked as CSET Program Coordinator and ABET Team Leader. In September 2019, I joined NCBA&E Bahawalpur sub campus as a Chairman CS & IT department. 
  • I received BSc degree in Mathematics and Physics from Islamia University Bahawalpur, Pakistan in 1999, after which I received my MSc degree in Information Technology from University Sains Malaysia in 2001. I also obtained another MS degree in Software Engineering from University of Malaya, Malaysia in 2005. I completed my PhD in Informatics from Malaysia University of Science and Technology, Malaysia in 2015. I have published journal papers, conference papers, books editor and book chapters. I have been in the (TPC) technical programme committee of many peer-reviewed conferences and journals where I have reviewed many research papers. My research interests are in the areas of Cloud Computing Security, Software Engineering Project Management and IoT. My hobbies are reading, travelling and music.
