Mohammad Khalid Hasan
Assistant Professor of Computer Science · James Madison University
I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at James Madison University. My research lies at the intersection of wireless communications and cybersecurity, with particular interests in federated learning, secure and trustworthy machine learning, wireless and networked systems, and security for UAV and IoT environments.
My work examines how intelligent and distributed systems behave under adversarial conditions and how practical defenses can be developed for real-world, resource-constrained environments. Please feel free to email me with questions or to discuss potential research collaborations.
