I am a Research Support Officer working on the Collaborative edge-cLoud continuum and Embedded AI for a Visionary industry of thE future (CLEVER) Project. My work on this project explores security applications and remifications of cloud-enabled sensor networks.
In the course of my research career, I have investigated a variety of related topics through an optimisation perspective including: home energy usage, smart buildings, transport, vehicular technologies, drones and public safety. The common theme in my work has been synthesising real-time data from a variety of sources in pursuit of positive outcomes in energy, safety and security.
My PhD thesis is titled: "Integration of Micro- and Macroscopic Models for Pedestrian Evacuation Simulation" conducted as part of the Nembes Network Embeded Systems project, and I received my doctorate in 2014.

Dr. Mohamed Seliem is a Research Fellow specializing in next-generation deterministic communication networks for industrial automation, smart factories, and cyber-physical systems. His research focuses on the convergence of 5G, Wi-Fi, and Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN), combining reliable low-latency communication, formal performance analysis, AI-assisted optimisation, and deployable network orchestration.
He currently leads AutoTwin-TSN, a digital-twin-driven orchestration platform that unifies TSN and 5G configuration into a single automated deterministic workflow. The platform integrates digital-twin modelling, network-calculus-based analysis, AI-assisted optimisation, and hardware-validated configuration synthesis to support fast, reliable, and vendor-agnostic deployment of converged industrial networks.
His broader work spans edge computing, positioning technologies, and resilient communication architectures for industrial IoT and automation. By bridging theoretical modelling, simulation, optimisation, and practical validation, Dr. Seliem develops future-proof networking solutions capable of meeting the stringent latency, reliability, scalability, and interoperability demands of critical industrial applications.
I am currently a Research Assistant within the nasc research Centre in the School of Computer Science and Information Technology at ¸£Àû1000ÔÚÏß College Cork, Ireland. I completed a PhD in Applied Cryptography at the School of Computer Science, UCC (2025-26) and a master's degree in information security (2020). My research focuses on designing classical and post-quantum cryptographic security protocols (Signature/Key Exchange) while improving performance and efficiency for real-world applications.
