About

Dr. Farkhund Iqbal is a leading researcher in cybersecurity, social robotics, and human-computer interaction, with a particular focus on security awareness and assistive technologies. His work bridges the critical gap between emerging digital threats and user protection, notably through his highly cited "White-Hat Hacking Framework for Promoting Security Awareness" (20 citations), which addresses the growing vulnerabilities in social media applications and social engineering attacks. Dr. Iqbal has made significant contributions to mobile and IoT security, as demonstrated by his comprehensive security assessment of Android systems and Zenbo robots using frameworks like Drozer and mobSF. His innovative research extends to social robotics for vulnerable populations, including pioneering work on assisting people of determination and the elderly through social humanoid robots, as well as developing novel approaches to robot computing for music visualization. Dr. Iqbal's interdisciplinary expertise also encompasses children's privacy compliance in smart connected toys, where he has developed systematic impact assessment schemes. His work consistently demonstrates a commitment to making technology safer and more accessible, with applications ranging from cybersecurity education to enhancing quality of life through human-robot interaction.
