Shahid Raza is a cybersecurity expert specializing in IoT Security and serves as the Chair Professor of Cybersecurity at the University of Glasgow, UK. He is involved in research, PhD and Postdoc supervision, and teaching.
Previously, Prof. Shahid served as the Director of Cybersecurity Unit at RISE for eight (8) years and established the RISE Cybersecurity Unit as one of the largest technical cybersecurity groups in Sweden, conducting cutting-edge research on both fundamental and applied cybersecurity topics. He holds a Docentship (Uppsala University), a PhD, a Licentiate, and a Master’s degree, all in cybersecurity, from Sweden. He also holds a 4-year Bachelor's degree in computer science, where he graduated with a 3.99 CGPA and received a Gold Medal.
He leads and participates in large-scale EU and Swedish research projects and coordination initiatives. Examples include Cybercampus Sweden (Co-founder and Research Director), H2020 CONCORDIA (participant and member of the management board), Swedish Cybersecurity Research and Innovation Node - Cyber Node (founder and project leader), H2020 Arcadian-IoT (technical project leader), and Horizon Europe CUSTODES (coordinator). Shahid is also the founder and project leader of the RISE Cyber Range, the largest cybersecurity test and demo facility in Sweden.
He is an IEEE Senior Member and a member of numerous EU and Swedish cybersecurity groups and associations such as EU Stakeholder Cybersecurity Certification Group (SCCG); European Cyber Security Organisation (ECSO), the largest cybersecurity public-private partnership in EU; and EARTO Security & Defence Research working group. Shahid also reviews Swedish and International research funding proposals and scientific journal articles, acts as a TPC member in conferences, and examines PhD theses.

PKI & network security for IoT
Our research brings Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) to IoT, which includes lightweight digital certificates and their enrollment, renewal, and revocation. We have also developed lightweight network security protocols and intrusion detection for IoT. READ MORE
AI/machine learning & IoT security
Our research on Artificial Intelligence (AI)/Machine Learning (ML) and Cybersecurity covers both AI for better cybersecurity and security of AI/ML techniques. We focus on efficient and secure federated learning and its usage for better IoT security. READ MORE
IoT assurance & re-certification
With billions of IoT devices having heterogeneous capabilities, it is important to protect consumers by setting cybersecurity standards for IoT. Our research sets requirements and develops continuous cyber certification solutions for IoT. READ MORE
Hardware & data security for IoT
Working on security for low-power RISC-V devices; isolation of critical operations using TEE, sandboxing TEE operations, and strengthening TEE security; and IoT data privacy in public clouds using homomorphic encryption and confidential computing. READ MORE
