Achievements & Accolades

FUNDED PROJECTS
Rethinking Cybersecurity in Pakistan: Human factors’ Essential Role ReCyP:HER, Funded by Erasmus +, EU, worth of one million Euros. The goal of project is to create a comprehensive capacity building in Pakistan for the area of cyber security and the connection with psychological
domain, and human factor.

RECYP:HER LAB INCHARGE (Research Lab)
I was the overall in-charge of the established lab under the EU funded project as mentioned in the Funded Projects heading. My role was to maintain different trainings related to cyber security, human factors, and software engineering. This
lab has state of the art equipment, SDN switch, and 40 cores Intel Xeon Processor for various simulations in the field of AI and Cyber Security. ((2)Facebook), ReCYP:HER (nust.edu.pk).
