Yacoub Hanna
Hello! I'm Yacoub Hanna.
Graduated in 2020 with the honor of Magna Cum Laude from Florida International University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Engineering and a Minor in Math Science. Currently, I'm pursuing a Doctoral degree at Florida International University(FIU). I work as Research Assistant at Advanced Wireless and Security Lab (ADWISE). I'm a member of the Golden Key International Honor Society. My research interests are Post Quantum Cryptography, Cyber Physical System, 5G Network, Smart Grid Security, and Internet-of-Things. I'm currently working on research for evaluating the Quantum-Resistant TLS for IoT, and Enabling the use of PQ algorithms for 5G network.Resume
