About

Fayez Alqahtani is a leading researcher at the intersection of cybersecurity, the Internet of Things (IoT), and artificial intelligence, with a particular focus on safeguarding critical infrastructure and next-generation healthcare systems. His work addresses the pressing security challenges of our increasingly connected world, where IoT sensors drive everything from smart agriculture to automated manufacturing. Alqahtani’s most influential contribution, his 2023 paper on an "AI and Blockchain-Based Secure Data Dissemination Architecture for IoT-Enabled Critical Infrastructure," has garnered 28 citations, establishing a foundational framework for protecting sensitive data flows in essential services. More recently, he has ventured into the high-stakes domain of telesurgery, proposing a deep learning-orchestrated garlic routing architecture to ensure secure, real-time surgical commands in Healthcare 4.0 environments. This forward-looking work, published in 2025, demonstrates his commitment to solving emerging problems where patient safety depends on robust cybersecurity. By blending AI with blockchain and advanced routing protocols, Alqahtani is shaping a future where digital transformation does not come at the cost of security, making his research essential reading for those working on resilient IoT systems and secure remote medical operations.
