Research and Publication

Research

My area of research includes the Internet of Things (IoT), Software-Defined Networks (SDN), Blockchain and Big Data.

Ph.D. Summary

During my Ph.D. research, I specialized in SDN and IoT networks, proposing innovative architectures like SD-6LN, 6LE-SDN, Nx-IoT, FT-SDN, and FoSDN for SDN-based IoT networks. I also developed a lightweight SDN-based IoT protocol to enhance interoperability between SDN and IoT networks. Through rigorous evaluation using real-time testbeds and simulations, with a focus on edge-based IoT networks, my research significantly enhanced scalability, availability, and reliability in SDN-based IoT networks. The outcomes of this work were published in esteemed journals and conferences, and I have also submitted patent applications.
