Assistant Lecturer
Aliyu Ibrahim Sulaiman
I am an Assistant Lecturer in the School of Science and Information Technology at Skyline University Nigeria (SUN), where I teach and support research in cybersecurity, digital forensics, and applied artificial intelligence. I hold an M.Sc. in Cybersecurity and Forensics (First Class with Distinction, CGPA 9.59/10.00) from Shobhit Institute of Engineering and Technology, Meerut, India, and a B.Sc. in Computer Science from Bayero University, Kano. My work centres on AI-driven security systems including phishing detection, disinformation analysis, and zero-trust security architectures and I have published in peer-reviewed journals and presented at international conferences. Before moving into teaching, I served as IT Support Executive at Skyline University Nigeria, and I bring several years of teaching, IT infrastructure management, and civic-technology development experience across academic and private-sector institutions in Nigeria. I am committed to equipping students with practical, industry-relevant skills in cybersecurity and digital transformation, while contributing to institutional capacity-building and regional digital development across West Africa.
