About
Dr. Hussain has a dual-doctorate in Information and Communications Engineering from The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (awarded in 2021) and another from Xi'an Jiaotong University (awarded in 2022 and under a Joint PhD Programme); an MSc. degree from the University of Leicester, UK (2011); and a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering (First-class Honours) from Bahria University, Pakistan (2010). He has over five years - around 1 year post-doctoral and 4.5 years pre-doctoral - of academic experience teaching undergraduate and graduate-level courses in telecommunications, Electronics, and Computer Science.
His general research interests include Applications of Artificial Intelligence and Big Data Analytics in Wireless Communication Systems (6G/5G Mobile Networks), Mobile Edge and Fog Computing, and Cyber-Physical Systems Security.
In particular, he does the following/has an interest in the following topics:
- Analysis of user traffic data collected from cellular networks.
- AI-based attack detection in cellular networks, from the cyber-physical systems (CPS) security perspective.
- AI-based network optimization using data (self-healing, traffic prediction, resource reallocation).
- Intelligent detection of faults and anomalies in mobile networks.
