About

I am a cybersecurity researcher with a focus on AI-driven threat detection and network security. Currently pursuing a Professional Master's in Information Technology at Jahangirnagar University, I work at the intersection of machine learning and network intrusion detection systems.

My research addresses a critical gap: existing NIDS datasets often fail to reflect real-world threat landscapes, particularly in critical infrastructure sectors such as energy. I develop evaluation frameworks using MITRE ATT&CK alignment and industry-relevance metrics, and investigate Byzantine-robust federated learning for distributed, privacy-preserving threat detection.

Beyond research I am a BTEB Certified Trainer & Assessor, a CompTIA Security+ certified professional, and an active science communicator through my Medium blog and YouTube channel.

Research Interests

Network Intrusion Detection Evaluating and improving AI-powered NIDS/IPS using MITRE ATT&CK alignment and industry-relevance metrics for reproducible benchmarking.
Federated Learning Security Byzantine-robust distributed learning mechanisms for privacy-preserving, decentralised threat detection in multi-party environments.
Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity of energy sector ICS/SCADA and OT environments, with a focus on realistic threat modelling and dataset coverage gaps.
6G Network Security Security frameworks and adversarial threat models for next-generation wireless network architectures.
Dataset Evaluation Benchmarking frameworks that assess NIDS dataset quality, coverage, and real-world relevance for the research community.
