Ali's competencies and skills include, but are not limited to: applying cryptography in network security, designing secure network protocols, evaluating complex algorithms, and programming for different purposes such as security (e.g., using OpenSSL), anomaly detection (e.g., using artificial intelligence and machine learning), and network simulation (e.g., using OMNeT++) in different languages and platforms (e.g., C, C++, C#, Delphi, Assembly, Matlab, Python, Java).
Experience
Ali has extensive and broad research experience and expertise in applied cryptography and information security, with his doctoral thesis examining authentication and key-management protocols for securing safety critical vehicular communications in a privacy-preserving manner.
Between April 2021 and November 2024, Ali has been an Information Security Researcher with the Queensland University of Technology, collaborating with the Cyber Security Cooperative Research Centre (CSCRC), Australia, to solve pressing real-world cyber security challenges.
As a CSCRC Researcher and Chief Investigator, Ali has been working with industry partners on different funded research projects, such as Anomaly Detection in Key-Management Activities Using Metadata, SOCRATES: Software Security with a Focus on Critical Technologies, and SCATES: Securing Critical Agriculture Technology and Emerging Solutions.
He is a member of the International Association for Cryptologic Research (IACR) and Senior Member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). He has actively been a reviewer for flagship journals such as the IEEE's Transactions on Vehicular Technology, Transactions on Dependable and Secure Computing, Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems, Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems, Internet of Things, Vehicular Technology Magazine, and conferences including the IACR's EUROCRYPT and ASIACRYPT.
