Profile Summary

I am a researcher, academic editor, and consultant with over two decades of experience at the intersection of information technology, knowledge management, and sustainable development. My work focuses on emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, and IoT—particularly their ethical, policy, and governance dimensions in the context of the Global South. I have authored and edited numerous scholarly books and research articles, and I currently serve as the Chief Editor for two international journals (IJKM and IJICTHD). I am also editing an upcoming book on AI ethics with IGI Global and have contributed to various global policy discussions on cybersecurity, digital identity, and smart governance. My academic interests include: • AI ethics and responsible innovation • Knowledge management and open innovation • Blockchain-enabled digital systems • Lightweight authentication protocols for IoT • ICT for sustainable development and inclusive policy design I have supervised and reviewed many graduate/undergraduate theses, collaborated with international organizations, and contributed to multi-stakeholder dialogues on technology and society. I welcome opportunities in academic writing, peer review, editorial consultancy, ethics reviews, and research support for projects aligned with sustainable and inclusive tech development.
