About me

I hold a Ph.D. in Information and Communication Technologies (2017) from UniSA, an MSc in Telecommunications Engineering (2013) from the University of Trento (UniTN) in Trento, Italy, and a BSc in Telecommunications Engineering (2010) from Makerere University Kampala (MUK), Uganda.

My research interests include communication systems and theory, computer networking and cybersecurity, statistical signal processing, satellite, optical, and wireless communication systems, data analytics, and machine learning.

I taught and coordinated several courses within UniSA STEM and abroad before joining UniSA. Latest courses taught include Security Principles, Security Foundations, and Network Fundamentals.

I am an IEEE member and a reviewer for... Read more
