• Conducted research on Cyber threat detection and mitigation strategies, linking CVE to MITRE ATT&CK framework using Machine Learning models. • Co-authored 2 papers published at IEEE GLOBECOM 2024 (Cape Town, South Africa) and IEEE COMPSAC 2024 (Osaka, Japan), presenting a novel model that outperformed existing models in the field and improvements of known models respectively.

The methodology followed for setting up Penetration Testing labs or environment as part of our training process at École Spéciale de Mécanique et d'Electricité, for Cybersecurity Major students involved manually installation of individual virtual machines. As part of my internship, I was tasked to build multiple penetration testing labs using Docker containers for use by the Academic Staff and students to use in the future as an alternative, in a faster and more efficient manner. I created the Labs effectively, thus making the process of setting up the environment efficient, faster and bypassing dependency issues that happen when manually installing Virtual Machines. Professors and students could now call the required lab with a simple command as opposed to individually finding and installing large VM files.
