Welcome! I’m Hussain Almohri, an Associate Professor and former Chair of the Department of Computer Science at Kuwait University. I earned my Ph.D. in Computer Science from Virginia Tech, where I focused on building high-assurance models for secure systems. I am a senior member of the ACM and IEEE, and an active contributor to the systems security research community.

My research centers on securing large-scale, distributed systems using a combination of machine learning, optimization, and automated intrusion mitigation. I've led multiple national and international research grants focused on defending IoT networks, analyzing network attack surfaces, and advancing privacy-preserving federated learning. My work has appeared in top-tier journals like IEEE TIFS, IEEE TDSC, ACM TAAS, ACM TOMS, and IEEE Transactions on Computers.

Beyond research, I am passionate about making security and programming education accessible. I authored an open-source book on Python programming, freely available here, and have supervised several graduate theses and innovative student projects in AI, privacy, and cloud systems.
