Hi, I'm [Arwa Omar] πŸ‘‹

πŸ” Cybersecurity Researcher | PhD Student | IT Instructor

I am a PhD researcher in Information Technology specializing in Cybersecurity, with interests spanning secure distributed systems, authentication, privacy-preserving technologies, and emerging security challenges.

Alongside my research, I work as an Instructor in the Information Technology Department, where I enjoy teaching computing concepts and helping students bridge the gap between theory and practical implementation.


πŸ”¬ Research Interests

  • πŸ” Cybersecurity & Information Security
  • πŸͺͺ Authentication & Continuous Authentication
  • πŸ€– Federated Learning Security
  • πŸ”— Distributed Systems Security
  • πŸ›‘οΈ Zero-Trust Architectures
  • πŸ”‘ Applied Cryptography
  • βš›οΈ Post-Quantum Cryptography
  • πŸ”’ Privacy-Preserving Technologies
  • 🌐 IoT Security
  • 🧠 AI/ML Security

πŸŽ“ Academic & Research Profile

  • πŸŽ“ PhD Student β€” Information Technology / Cybersecurity
  • πŸ‘©β€πŸ« Instructor β€” Information Technology Department
  • πŸ”¬ Researching secure and privacy-preserving computing systems
  • πŸ“ Interested in translating academic security research into practical implementations
  • 🀝 Open to research collaboration in cybersecurity, authentication, federated learning, and applied cryptography

πŸ§ͺ Current Research

Secure Authentication for Federated Learning

My current research explores authentication and security mechanisms for Federated Learning environments, with particular interest in:

  • Continuous Authentication
  • Post-Quantum Cryptography
  • Zero-Trust principles
  • Secure client authentication
  • Privacy-preserving distributed learning
  • Malicious participant detection
  • Secure IoT and edge environments

My goal is to design security mechanisms that remain practical while providing strong authentication, privacy, and resilience against emerging threats.
