IoTalentum, IoT and cybersecurity research

IoTalentum establishes a well-balanced and innovative training network. The initiative will train 15 early-stage researchers who will be recruited during the implementation of the project, through an outstanding training program that includes coordinated research in different IoT fields.

Mahmoud’s research interests are in the area of communication systems and networks, machine learning, deep learning, machine learning for networks and analytics and network traffic monitoring and analysis (NTMA).

BISITE’s expertise in the field of Internet of Things and Mahmoud’s technological skills will contribute significantly to achieving the project’s objectives. They will also help in the development of his research towards the successful completion of his doctoral thesis.
