Hassan Asghar

I am a Ph.D. researcher at KENTECH working in network security, security verification, system security, and protocol security. My research focuses on analyzing and verifying the security of real-world systems and communication protocols, with an emphasis on practical testing, systematic evaluation, and building more reliable secure computing systems.

I received my M.S. in Computer Science from COMSATS University Islamabad, Abbottabad Campus, and my B.S. in Computer Science from SZABIST, Islamabad Campus.
