Dr.-Ing. Mohammad Hamad

I am Mohammad Hamad. I am leading the research group Security for IoT and Automotive Systems in the Associate Professorship of Embedded Systems and Internet of Things in the Department of Computer Engineering at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). Before joining Prof. Sebastian Steinhorst's group, i worked as research staff member at Embedded Computer Security group at the Institute of Computer and Network Engineering at TU Braunschweig, Germany, where I finished my Ph.D. under the supervision of Prof. Vassilis Prevelakis.
I hold a bachelor's degree in software engineering from the faculty of Informatics Engineering, University of Aleppo, Syria in 2009. My reseach interests are in the area of autonomous vehicle security and IoT security.
