After the completion of his doctorate, Dr. Abbas served as Seminar Tutor (2010–2011) at the School of Mathematics, Computer Science and Engineering, Liverpool Hope University. He had also contributed as Mentor (2003–2011) for many Edwardian students at Liverpool Hope University during his stay in Liverpool. Before embarking on his Ph.D., Dr. Abbas served briefly as Lecturer (2005–2006) at Edwardes College Peshawar, and formerly as Teaching Assistant (2002–2003) at the same college. He is currently serving as a full Professor and Head of Department of Cybersecurity and Software Engineering Departments at GIK Institute.
Dr. Abbas has authored more than 150 research publications with a cumulative impact factor of 380+. He has won several prestigious national and international awards, including the Best Application Prospect Award at Huawei ICT Competition Middle East, and HEC Best Research Paper Award. Additionally, he has won three research awards, an award for excellence in teaching, and several cash awards for research publications at GIK Institute.
Apart from research and teaching, Dr. Abbas also has a number of contributions in his administrative roles at GIK, first as Director (IT) and then as Advisor (IT) and Director (Huawei ICT Academy). He has been an active member of the committees for curriculum development and establishing new degree programs at GIK. Dr. Abbas has supervised a large number of MS and PhD students and final year projects, with a few showing high impact in the field. He has been a member of a number of key committees at GIK and advisor of several student societies. He is the co-founding member of the Telecommunications and Networking (TeleCoN) Research Center at GIK. Dr. Abbas serves as member of editorial boards and reviewer for leading impact factor journals in his field. Additionally, he has been the member of organizing committees and technical program committees of a number of highly ranked international conferences and workshops. In recognition of his professional standing, Dr. Abbas was elected as Fellow of the Institute of Science & Technology, England, in 2011, was elected to the grade of the Senior Member of IEEE in 2015, and was elected as Fellow of the British Computer Society in 2016.
