Biography

Professor Mohammad Hammoudeh is the Head of the MMU IoT Laboratory and a Chair in Cyber Security with the Department of Computing and Mathematics, Manchester Metropolitan University. He has been a researcher and publisher in the field of big sensory data mining and visualization. He is a highly proficient, experienced, and professionally certified cybersecurity professional, specializing in threat analysis, and information and network security management. His research interests include highly decentralized algorithms, communication, and cross-layered solutions to the Internet of Things, and wireless sensor networks.

He is a highly proficient, experienced, and professionally certified cyber security professional, specialising in: Threat analysis; Information and network security management; Internet investigations; Penetration testing Cyber and insider investigations; Breach assessments and incident response; Forensic and crisis readiness planning; and Translation of technical concepts to non-specialists. He has intensive experience in cyber defence course development and instruction; cyber range platform and attack scenario design and execution. Many of his security skills evolved from his wider expertise in information extraction/mining, data visualisation as well as computer networks and communications skills. He is a reviewer for many international conferences and journals specialising the cyber security.

His teaching experience includes leading second and third-year undergraduate courses in Computer Networks, Management, and Security.

He has been an active member of the technical program committee on many international conferences and journals. Hammoudeh is regularly invited to talk at international conferences and workshops. He is an External Examiner for the BSc (Hons) in Computer Security and Forensics at the University of Bedfordshire. He is also an External examiner for the MSc Computer Networks and Security and MSc Cloud Computing awards at Staffordshire University. He is the HEA Institutional Representative (Information and Computer Sciences Subject).

Research outputs

My research interests cover several areas in computer science, including algorithm design and analysis, communication and concurrency, performance optimisation, and wireless networking. My current research is experimentally led and it explores the application of these areas to distributed computing environments. My central research focuses on optimising performance and energy consumption in ad-hoc wireless and mobile networks; resource allocation, data collection and routing, information extraction, visualisation, and distributed storage. I’m also interested in logic and model theory, and there application to solve real-world network problems.
