Biography<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Mohannad Abu Issa is a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Systems and Computer Engineering at Carleton University. He received his Bachelor\u2019s Degree in Communication and Electronics Engineering from the Jordan University of Science and Technology in 2011, his Master\u2019s Degree in Communication Engineering from the University of Jordan in 2018, and his PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Carleton University in 2026.<\/p>\n

His research interests include artificial intelligence, machine learning, cybersecurity, edge and fog computing for the Internet of Things (IoT), federated learning, intrusion detection systems, and resource management for secure IoT and smart infrastructure deployments. His academic and industry experience spans AI-driven cybersecurity, IoT security, wireless communications, computer networking, engineering systems, and applied research collaboration with government and industry partners. He has published peer-reviewed papers in intrusion detection, IoT security, e-health IoT systems, federated learning, wireless communications, and cognitive radio networks.<\/p>\n

His teaching experience includes serving as a Teaching Assistant in the Department of Systems and Computer Engineering at Carleton University, developing course materials and mini-projects for engineering courses in AI, computer networks, and network and software security, and serving as a Guest Lecturer for AI for Engineering topics related to deep neural networks, large language models, and AI ethics. He has also supervised and guided undergraduate and master\u2019s students toward publishable research outputs, including IEEE conference publications and manuscripts currently under review.<\/p>\n
