Dr Nabeel Khan is a Senior Lecturer and Programme Lead for BSc Cybersecurity at the University of Chester.

Nabeel has been the lead researcher for numerous national and international research projects, funded by the European Commission (e.g., CONCERTO), U.K. research councils (e.g., EPSRC), U.K. Technology Strategy Board/Innovate-UK., and international industries (DoCoMo Eurolabs Munich). He gained his PhD in Resource Allocation in Wireless Networks from Kingston University, London, in 2013.

He joined the University of Chester in 2021 as the Program Leader to further develop and deliver Cybersecurity courses. His research interests are in Network Security, Machine Learning techniques for threat hunting, and Cloud computing.

Dr Nabeel Khan teaches cybersecurity modules at both undergraduate and masters levels. Modules include:

  • Ethical Hacking (Level 5)
  • Cyber Concepts and Techniques (Level 7)
  • Digital Forensics and Incident Response (Level 7)
  • Software Exploitation (Level 7)

Nabeel is currently the Programme Leader for BSc Cybersecurity.
