Dr. Eman Maali serves as an Honorary Research Fellow in Imperial College London's Department of Computing (Faculty of Engineering) while completing her fourth-year Ph.D. at the Adaptive Emergent Systems Engineering Laboratory (AESE) under Professor Julie McCann's supervision, focusing on IoT security and network anomaly detection.
Her academic journey includes:
- Ph.D. candidate in Computing (Schlumberger Foundation's Faculty for the Future Fellowship)
- MSc in Electromagnetic Sensor Networks, University of Birmingham (2017, Hani Qaddumi Foundation)
- BA in Computer Systems Engineering, Birzeit University, Palestine
Research integrates IoT security with electromagnetic engineering expertise, developing anomaly detectors for home gateways while leveraging background in antennas, RF systems, and computer networks. Secondary contributions advance Arabic natural language processing through text summarization and document analysis.
Publication trends reveal dual focus: 2020 IoT security work addresses embedded network vulnerabilities, while 2018-2019 research pioneers Arabic language technologies using statistical/semantic modeling and font-independent segmentation.
Key recognitions:
- Faculty for the Future Ph.D. Fellowship (Schlumberger Foundation)
- Hani Qaddumi Foundation Fellowship (Master's studies)
Her research is exclusively fellowship-funded, with the Faculty for the Future award supporting women from developing nations in STEM doctorates. Collaborations include David Boyle and Hamed Haddadi on IoT systems, and Aziz Qaroush on Arabic NLP projects.
Affiliated with Imperial's Adaptive Emergent Systems Engineering Laboratory, she develops security frameworks for emerging IoT ecosystems within South Kensington Campus facilities.
