Abdullah Al Ishtiaq

Ph.D. Candidate, Pennsylvania State University


Abdullah Al Ishtiaq is a Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science and Engineering at Pennsylvania State University. His research focuses on the security of wireless networks, with an emphasis on leveraging natural language processing to analyze protocol specifications and detect design and implementation vulnerabilities. His recent work involves developing techniques to extract formal models from cellular network specifications to identify weaknesses in 4G/5G system designs. He also develops security testing frameworks for network protocol implementations, including 4G/5G and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), to systematically evaluate their resilience against real-world attacks.
