Bahaa Eltahawy

Currently, I am a project researcher at the Digital Economy Research Platform, working on REDISET and Vaasa IoT projects. I am doing a PhD. in the Information Systems (IS) field related to preserving privacy in the cyberspace, with special emphasis on education and more consideration towards the energy sector (Expected defense, Fall 2024).

Other than that, I have an extensive profile in project research since 2016, being a member of S-Step, NTC, SESP, SIE, EUNICE, and CC-RSG projects. The projects I worked on mostly cover two themes. The first is about Education, awareness, and developing skills, while the second is about the energy sector, security, and resilience.

Areas I am interested in are, but not limited to: Cybersecurity, Privacy, Research and Innovations, Project management, and Networking.

Courses I taught and developed the teaching materials for are: Enterprise Architectures, Management of ICT-Functions, and Management of Cybersecurity. I also participated in developing the teaching materials of other courses, and am a guest lecturer in at least one of the energy courses, providing the overview about security in the energy field.

Regarding my education, I have a B.Sc. in Electronics Engineering, a M.Sc. in Telecommunications Engineering, and currently finalizing a M.Eng. in Project Management, beside my PhD. work.
