Dr. Mohammad A. Razzaque (Raz) is a senior Lecturer in the School of Computing. Before joining Teesside he worked as a senior Research Fellow at the Trinity College Dublin (2014-2017) and senior Lecturer at the Faculty Computing, University Technology Malaysia (2011-2014).

He holds a PhD in distributed systems (i.e., Wireless Sensor Networks, Mobile Adhoc Networks) from the School of Computer Science and Informatics, UCD, Dublin (2008). He also holds M.Sc. & B.Sc. (hons) in Electronic and Communication Engineering, University of Dhaka, Bangladesh.

He has more than 9 years of research and/or teaching experience on distributed systems (i.e., Internet of Things, Cloud Computing) and cyber security. His research is centered on IoT (i.e., wireless sensor networks, body area networks, and vehicular adhoc networks) and cyber security. Since, 2008 he is working in these areas and successfully published more than 60 research papers in these areas. Currently, he is working on end-to-end security in IoT, Connected Healthcare (IoT in healthcare) and Topic modelling (Text mining).

My main research interests are:

• IoT: Middleware, Architecture, QoS, Energy management
• Computer Networks: Cross-layer design, Middleware
• Cyber Security and Privacy in cloud computing and IoT
• Machine learning (i.e., topic modelling): Text mining, Natural Language processing

Worked as a principle investigator (PI) in two projects:

“Design of a new Security Model for Intelligent Transport Systems”, FRGS, Ministry of Higher Education, Malaysia (externally evaluated), Period: 2013-2014, Amount: 60,000 RM or £13,000.

“QoS-aware new MAC protocol in Body Area Sensor Networks (BASNs/BANs) for Medical Applications”, University Technology Malaysia (UTM) start-up grant, Period: 2012-2013, Amount: 30,000RM or £6,600.

I have supervised more than 13 postgraduate students, including 3 PhD students. I have PhD opportunities (self funded) in the following areas:

• End-to-end security in IoT
• IoT in healthcare (i.e., chronic disease management)
• QoS in IoT

Reviewer: IEEE Transactions on Computers, Computer Communications, Ad Hoc Networks, International Journal of Communication Systems, Sensors, IEEE Sensors, Journal of Network and Computer Applications, etc.

Program Committee Member: IEEE Smart Cities Conference 2015, ICCVIA' 2014, CCA-2014,TCGC -2014, VisionNet-2014, SOMET2014, RFID-TA 2013, IEEE TENCON 2012, ICAC 2008, etc.
