Cybersecurity Professor | CISO | Researcher | Author | Speaker
I work at the intersection of cybersecurity, digital forensics, IIoT/IoT security, SOC operations, and applied cyber education. My work focuses on building practical cybersecurity laboratories, research datasets, cyber-physical testbeds, and machine learning–supported security models for education, research, and industry collaboration.

- Cybersecurity education, curriculum design, and hands-on labs
Founder and CERT Manager | 2016–2018
I founded and led an academic Computer Emergency Response Team, developing its cybersecurity strategy, governance policies, laboratory, and student internship program. I led preparation and coordination supporting FIRST membership and Trusted Introducer accreditation.
Chief Information Officer | January 2022–July 2024
I led technology and cybersecurity initiatives at ICT Academy, defining business processes across education, research, consulting, and professional activities. My responsibilities included security governance, risk management, cloud operations oversight, vendor coordination, and reporting to organizational leadership.
The case study includes a research-to-consulting process model, research register structure, an illustrative risk-remediation example, and leadership reflections.

Projects related to IIoT infrastructure, wireless sensor network simulation, cyber threat datasets, and anomaly detection models.
Hands-on environments for teaching and simulating real-world SOC workflows, including alert triage, case management, threat intelligence, and forensic evidence handling.
Research and teaching projects focused on IoT forensic evidence, sensor-based event logging, USB/device activity, and distributed evidence collection.
Python-based tools for reconnaissance, scanning, vulnerability assessment, exploitation practice, and security reporting.
I design and teach applied cybersecurity, digital forensics, and IoT security courses using practical labs, simulated environments, and research-backed exercises. My teaching approach combines academic foundations with industry-style workflows and hands-on technical implementation.
I am open to collaboration in:
- Cybersecurity research projects
- IIoT and IoT security testbeds
- SOC lab development
- Digital forensics education
- Cybersecurity workforce development
- Applied machine learning for cyber defense
