Mentoring

Research & Publications

I have mentored several students in research methodology, publication strategies, and scholarly writing. In the fall of 2025, I am guiding Rand Ashour (undergraduate student) for her first research work and Joy Wang (undergraduate student) for her first research work on cybersecurity and scientific writing, supporting their project ideation and preparation for conference submissions. At UAB, I guided Ph.D. student Boniface Sindala on his research ideas and implementation for his first paper in fall 2024. At Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM), I supervised Mohotasim Billah (undergraduate) on quantitative methodologies in behavioral informatics for his research, and Khadija Mukta (graduate) on her advanced research design and scientific writing in Spring 2029. My mentorship emphasized structured progress, experiential learning, and regular feedback to help these students transition from classroom learning to independent research and publication.
