Research & professional experience

1. Apr 2026 – present

   Postdoctoral Researcher

   University of L'Aquila, Italy

   Monitoring and cyber-threat detection architectures for virtualized infrastructures. Analysed security challenges in virtual-machine and container platforms, designed a lightweight monitoring framework combining host- and network-based data sources, and applied anomaly detection for real-time identification of suspicious behaviour — improving detection accuracy and response time over traditional approaches in simulated virtualized environments.

2. May 2025 – Oct 2025

   Research Fellow — SIEM for Operational Technology

   University of L'Aquila, in collaboration with Selmec, Chieti, Italy

   Built a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) system for OT environments: software modules integrating Splunk, Suricata and Elastic Stack, data-collection interfaces for OT devices, and machine-learning algorithms for anomaly detection and classification of critical events.

3. Apr 2023 – Mar 2026

   PhD Researcher

   University of L'Aquila, Italy

   Doctoral research on AI-based intrusion detection: BERT-based detectors for imbalanced network traffic, deep transfer learning for edge and IoT scenarios, and ML-enhanced SIEM with eBPF telemetry.

4. Dec 2020 – present

   Founder & CEO

   E-Katchery, Pakistan

   Pakistan's first online legal-consultation platform (web, Android and iOS), letting clients book and pay for virtual meetings with lawyers. Incubated with support from the Punjab Information Technology Board.

Professional training from Cisco Networking Academy, FIRST, Splunk, Coursera (University of Minnesota), LinkedIn Learning, MathWorks and Google, alongside national skills programmes.
