He is currently a Research Professor in the College of Engineering at Qatar University in Qatar. Prior to joining Qatar University, he served as a faculty member at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore for over 20 years.
Prof. Ma has extensive research interests, including network security and wireless networking. He has led 26 research projects funded by various government, industry, military, and university organizations across different countries. He has supervised 24 research students who successfully obtained their Ph.D. degrees under his guidance.
He has been actively involved in the organization of more than 100 international conferences, serving as a conference chair, technical symposium chair, tutorial chair, publication chair, publicity chair, and session chair. Additionally, Prof. Ma has been a member of the technical program committees for over 300 international conferences.
Prof. Ma has a remarkable publication record with approximately 490 international academic publications, including around 250 journal papers and over 240 conference papers. His research work has received close to 10000 citations in Google Scholar. He has also authored and edited technical books and book chapters.
As an accomplished speaker, Prof. Ma has delivered over 90 keynote speeches and 11 tutorials at various international conferences. He currently holds prestigious editorial roles, serving as the Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of Computer and Communication Engineering and the Journal of Communications. Additionally, he is a Senior Editor for IEEE Communications Surveys and Tutorials and an Associate Editor for the International Journal of Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing and the International Journal of Communication Systems.
Prof. Ma is a senior member of the IEEE Communication Society and a member of ACM. He also serves as the Chair of the ACM, Singapore Chapter. Moreover, he has been recognized as a Distinguished Lecturer for the IEEE Communication Society in 2013-2016 and 2023-2024.
Recently, the Fifth Generation (5G) wireless network has become a major carrier for wireless communications, supporting the Internet of Everything and large-scale heterogeneous connections. 5G wireless networks have been deployed in many countries worldwide, including Qatar, where 5G commercial services are available to end-users. These networks present promising and advanced features, but the introduction of new techniques and features also brings new security challenges.
In this talk, I will discuss the critical need to design strong security functionality to protect the operation of 5G wireless networks. The Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) has produced Technical Specification TS 23.501 R16, which specifies various functions of 5G wireless networks along with corresponding security mechanisms. Pioneering research works have further enhanced the security mechanisms specified by the 3GPP.
I will summarize some of the followed-up research work that aims to achieve a compromise between security functionality and the performance of 5G wireless networks. I will present a series of proposed solutions targeting security protection with high efficiency in three kinds of network scenarios.
