About

Dr Abdussalam Salama is a lecturer in Computer networks and cyber security.

Dr Salama has several years of experience in industry, he was senior systems engineer at Cisco Systems, focus on identify and engage appropriate pre- and post-sales support resources. Develop the technical response to RFPs or the technical elements or approaches for the network solutions proposal. Deliver Cisco training to partners and customers. Implemented routing protocols, voice over IP (VoIP), network security, intrusion detection and prevention systems IDS/IPS, firewalls.

Dr Salama has working experience in mobile operator and Internet Service Provider (ISP) as a senior planning engineer, his focus was design and implement network transition from TDM to IP-MPLS, Voice over IP and network Quality of service QoS.

Since returning to academia, he has worked as a research fellow on large scale EU funded project, serve as a digital innovation fellow, provide industrial consultancy and academic collaborations for SMBs, manage multiple projects from inception to successful completion.

He is a fellow of HEA, UK and hold many network and security certificates such as CCNP and CCSP.
