I joined the Computational Privacy Group at Imperial College London in June 2025 as a Research Fellow. Working with Yves-Alexandre de Montjoye. During my fellowship, I will focus on research at the intersection of privacy, security, and machine learning. My research will explore privacy attacks against machine learning models and data releases—such as anonymisation—as well as developing approaches to strengthen the security and privacy of these systems.

I was awarded my PhD in May 2025 at Adaptive Emergent Systems Engineering Laboratory (AESE) in the Department of Computing at Imperial College London, under the supervision of Professor Julie McCann. My doctoral research focused on securing IoT environments through machine learning-based device identification and anomaly detection.

In 2017, I completed my MSc in Electromagnetic Sensor Networks at the University of Birmingham. The focus of the Master was on electromagnetic, antennas, propagation, computer communications networks, and RF and microwave engineering. Moreover, I completed my BA in Computer Systems Engineering from Birzeit University in Palestine.
