Parvez Faruki received M.Tech and PhD in Computer Science and Engineering (Supervisors: Prof. Manoj Singh Gaur, Dr. Vijay Laxmi Associate Professor) from Malaviya National Institute of Technology Jaipur India in July 2012 and March 2016, respectively. In 2012, he was awarded CFAIT $ 10,000 Commonwealth fellowship for six months to visit University of Saskatchewan, Canada for further research. He has been the recipient of Maulana Azad National Fellowship in 2013. He was a part of research team on behalf of NIT Jaipur for a joint DST-RFBR project with South-Russian Educational and Research Center for IT-Security at Southern Federal University, Russia. He visited Laboratoire Bordelais de Recherche en Informatique (LaBRI) Bordeaux, France to pursue further research in May-June 2015.
In 2005, he joined the department of Technical Education, Govt. of Gujarat as Lecturer in Information Technology. He is additional co-investigator of SAFAL Project (Security Analysis Framework for Android) awarded by Department of Electronics and Information Technology in 2014. Presently, he is working as Assistant Professor in Government MCA College Ahmedabad. His research interests are Mobile Security, Malware analysis and detection techniques on Android and Microsoft Windows. In this area, he published 16+ papers, few among the topmost international peer-reviewed journals and good security conferences (including IEEE Communication Surveys and Tutorials, IEEE Transaction on Software Engineering, IEEE Trustcom, IEEE Securecomm, IEEE CCNC, IEEE DSN Workshop, and ACM SINCONF). He served as program committee member of ACM SIN 2013-14, TPC member IC3 2017, Smart World 2017 and ICCAI 2017.
