About

Md Nazmul Hoq
I am presently a PhD candidate at the Concordia Institute for Information Systems Engineering (CIISE), Concordia University, Montreal, Quebec, Canada, under the supervision of Dr. Suryadipta Majumdar and Dr. Mourad Debbabi. I have obtained my Master's and Bachelor's degrees in Computer Science and Engineering from Bangladesh. I am conducting my primary research in the field of wireless network security, with a particular emphasis on 5G security, security posture measurement, and security awareness. My secondary research interests include information retrieval, predictive analytics and recommendation systems, image processing, and computer vision, notably medical imaging.
Presently, I am engaged in a collaborative effort with an exceptional team that includes members of Ericsson Security Research and Concordia University. Our primary objective is to resolve issues associated with the assessment and prediction of 5G security posture.
