معرفی
Dr. Israat Haque is an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Computer Science at Dalhousie University, Halifax, where she leads the Programmable and Intelligent Networking (PINet) research group. She also holds an adjunct professorship in the Department of Computing Science at the University of Alberta.
- PhD in Computer Science, University of Alberta
- NSERC Postdoctoral Fellow, University of California, Riverside
- MSc in Computer Science, Concordia University
Her research focuses on developing high-performance, secure, and dependable distributed and emerging networking systems, with key interests in Software-Defined Networking (SDN), Cyber-physical Systems (CPS), Internet of Things (IoT), 5G/6G technologies, and AI/ML applications in networking. She applies data-driven approaches to solve real-world problems in network programmability, stream processing, and edge/cloud computing.
The 15 most recent publications highlight a strong trend in in-network computing, IoT security, AI-driven network reliability, and stream processing. Her work spans from theoretical surveys to practical system implementations, often leveraging programmable data planes (P4), machine learning, and hardware acceleration to address challenges in performance, security, and fairness in distributed systems.
Dr. Haque has received numerous prestigious recognitions:
- IEEE/ACM N2Women Rising Star Award (2021)
- ACM FAccT Best Paper Award (2023)
- IEEE WICE Outstanding Mentoring Award (2025)
- University of Alberta Alumni Honour Award (2024)
- Digital Nova Scotia Thinking Forward Award (2022)
- Intel Fast Forward Initiative Winner (2022)
- President’s Research Excellence Award, Dalhousie (2021)
She actively mentors PhD and MSc students and leads externally funded research projects, including a Canada First Research Excellence Fund (CFREF)-supported initiative on Securing Smart Environments. She has served on editorial boards of IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology and IEEE Communications Magazine, and on program committees of top conferences such as IEEE ICNP, IEEE NetSoft, and ACM SIGCOMM. Her lab, PINet, fosters innovation in networking systems and produces high-impact research with real-world applicability.
Dr. Haque leads the PINet research group, which includes current PhD and MSc students working on cutting-edge topics like post-quantum cryptography, network programmability for security, and large ML model security. The group collaborates with institutions such as the University of Alberta, Laval University, and Concordia, and has strong industry ties with Intel, Meta, Amazon, and Facebook.
