Ahmed A. Abd El-Latif (Senior Member, IEEE) is a Professor Computer Science (Quantum Cybersecurity & AI-Driven Solutions) , and holds academic positions at several international universities. He earned his Ph.D. in 2013 from the Harbin Institute of Technology, China. With extensive research leadership, Dr. Abd El-Latif has spearheaded and contributed to numerous national and international research projects. He has authored several impactful publications in prestigious journals and conferences and has received multiple awards for his contributions.

He has held key leadership roles in initiating research centers and advancing research in labs. He is the founder of the Center of Excellence in Quantum & Intelligent Computing (QIC), one of the most important research centers in the MENA region that includes quantum educational and learning platforms and post quantum cybersecurity initiatives for research and development.

Prof. Abd El-Latif has held prestigious global roles, including Head of the MEGANET6G Lab in Russia, Postdoctoral Fellow at Harbin Institute of Technology (China), and Visiting Professorships at the Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw University of Technology (Poland), and Cracow University of Technology (Poland). His research pioneers quantum computing, chaotic dynamical systems, and AI for cybersecurity and the Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT), with a focus on quantum safe cryptography—including quantum computing based protocols for encryption, steganography, and random number generation; quantum inspired algorithms for secure IoT/5G transmission; quantum resistant protocols; and integration of chaotic maps, swarm optimization, and quantum encoding methods for multimedia security. He has also created end to end IoT/smart city security solutions, double layered encryption, and hybrid quantum inspired machine learning systems. His vision is to lead the transition to quantum safe cybersecurity by developing innovative cryptographic protocols and educating the next generation in post quantum cryptography and quantum inspired security, shaping secure data transmission for the digital and quantum eras. Prof. Abd El-Latif is committed to driving innovation, fostering collaboration, delivering excellence, ensuring integrity, and creating impact in everything he does.
