Ahmed Ryan
Graduate Research Assistant
Greetings!
I’m Ahmed Ryan, a PhD student in Computer Science at the University of Alabama, working as a Graduate Research Assistant under Dr. Md Rayhanur Rahman.
Prior to joining academia, I spent three years as a Software Engineer, including a tenure at Cefalo developing secure web solutions for European clients.
I graduated with a Bachelor’s in Software Engineering from the Institute of Information Technology, University of Dhaka.
My research focuses on the intersection of Software Supply Chain Security, Malware Analysis, and Artificial Intelligence.
I have developed statement-level taxonomies for malicious Python packages and evaluated Large Language Models (LLMs) for fine-grained threat indicator identification.
My work further explores automating Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTP) extraction and the capability of Large Language Models (LLMs) for fine-grained threat indicator identification.
Additionally, I have investigated AI-assisted formal verification.
Research Interest Areas:
- Software Supply Chain Security (SSCS)
- Malware Analysis & Detection
- AI for Software Engineering (AI4SE)
- Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI)
- Formal Verification
