The doctoral thesis which is entitled in 'A reference model for securing IoT objects' is a study on security and privacy guidelines, countermeasures, threats: IoT data at rest perspective
Senior Scienitist at Geneva University, Switzerladn

My research interests center around developing a secure reference model for the Internet of Things (IoT) that would benefit stakeholders such as developers, researchers, and manufacturers, enabling them to build secure IoT systems from the outset. During my PhD program, I focused on proposing a novel framework for securing IoT objects by assigning different Security Level Certificates (SLCs) based on their hardware capabilities and protection measures. This approach facilitates secure communication between IoT objects or between objects and the internet. In addition to my academic background and publication record, I have over four years of experience teaching software engineering and related courses, and I am passionate about sharing my organizational skills and teaching experience in dynamic and stimulating environments.
