Dr Hussain Ahmad

I am a Researcher and Lecturer in the School of Computer Science and Information Technology at Adelaide University, Australia. My interdisciplinary research spans Cyber Security, Generative AI, Agentic AI, and Software Engineering, with a focus on industry-driven innovation and practical solutions to real-world challenges. I have published in leading international journals and conferences, including CORE A* and A-ranked venues, and have secured multiple competitive research grants supporting advanced AI-driven research in cybersecurity. My research has involved collaborations with government agencies, defence organisations, and high-growth startups, including Defence Trailblazer, CSIRO Technology, Department of State Development South Australia, Cyber Security Cooperative Research Centre, and startups within the Stone & Chalk Adelaide Startup Hub. I have also collaborated with researchers from leading academic institutions, including Imperial College London, the University of Melbourne, and Monash University. Alongside my research activities, I design, coordinate, and deliver courses in Cyber Security and Artificial Intelligence, and supervise student research and capstone projects.
