BIOGRAPHY

Dr. Majid Mumtaz is an Assistant Professor at Shifa School of Computing, Shifa Tameer-e-Millat University (STMU) Islamabad. He is actively participating in different teaching and research activities and doing administrative task at graduate and undergraduate level. He had obtained PhD in Software Engineering from Tsinghua University (QS world ranked 14 & top Engineering University in all over Asia). He remained a very active member of information security and cyber security field specifically he is doing research in cyber security in general and specifically in Public Key Cryptanalysis, Cryptography and Information and Communication systems security. Overall, he has published multiple impact factor papers in journals of international repute with cumulative impact factor 12+. Besides journal he also has published more multiple papers in international reputed conferences. His research area includes but not limited to cyber security, information and communication systems security, IoT Security, Public key Cryptography, and public key cryptanalysis. He has also supervised/co-supervised many R&D projects of BSCS/BSSE/MCS graduates levels. He is reviewer of several prestigious journals and conferences. Besides teaching and research activities, he is also remained active in handling the administrative tasks in undergraduate and post-graduate level and completed them as well with success.

Majid has been served as lecturer at COMSATS University Islamabad (CUI), where he had taught different computing courses at undergraduate, and graduate level and he also has experience in research or creative work, thesis or project supervision, student’s guidance or counseling, administrative activities, and co/extra-curriculum activities at different levels at CUI. At University level, he has fulfilled several academic and administrative duties besides teaching and research activities including a member of various administrative committees (proposal/FYP project internal evaluation, scrutiny, Visio Spark, open house & job fair), FYP undergraduate (CS / SE), responsible/member of session management committee (national / international Conferences) and many other events. In International level at KTH Royal Institute of Technology have done Research and Development activities.  At national level, worked in local IT industry as delivered in Systems Administration activities as a head of Domain and hosting department at COMSATS Internet service provider (CIS) from April 2008 to June 30th, 2010. He has an overall professional experience (teaching + research) of more than 15 years.
