Mohamed Elsalih Mahmoud received the Ph.D. degree (April 2011) in electrical and computer engineering from University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. The title of his thesis is “Efficient packet-drop thwarting and user-privacy preserving protocols for multi-hop wireless networks”. His Ph.D. supervisor was Prof. Xuemin (Sherman) Shen. Dr. Mahmoud is currently a postdoctoral fellow in the Broadband Communications Research group (BBCR), Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Waterloo, under the supervision of Prof. Sherman (Xuemin) Shen (University of Waterloo) and Prof. Xiaodong Lin (University of Ontario Institute of Technology).
Dr. Mahmoud is the first author for more than twenty papers published in major IEEE conferences and transactions. He won the prestigious Best Paper Award (international award) from IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC’09), Dresden, Germany, 2009. This award was one of only fourteen given, among 1046 papers presented and more than 3000 submitted, and was the sole award for the Communication and Information Systems Security Symposium. He also has received the Distinguished Teaching Assistantship Award granted to the best teaching assistant in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, based on evaluations by students.
His research interest includes wireless network security, mobile ad hoc and multihop cellular wireless networks, wireless sensor networks, delay-tolerant wireless networks, users and location privacy-preserving schemes, trust-based and energy-aware routing protocols, anonymous and secure routing protocols, cooperation incentive mechanisms, micropayment systems, trust and reputation systems, applied cryptography, natural language processing, machine translation systems, expert systems, artificial intelligence applications.
