Rate My Professor Consolee Mbarushimana

Dr. Consolee Mbarushimana is a Lecturer in the School of Mathematics and Computer Science within the Faculty of Science and Engineering at the University of Wolverhampton. She is affiliated with the Wolverhampton Cyber Research Institute (WCRI). Her academic background includes a Bachelor of Engineering (BE) degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from Bharathiar University, India, in 2002, followed by an MSc in Computing Science in 2004 and a PhD in Computing Science in 2008, both from Glasgow Caledonian University. Prior to her current role, she served as a Lecturer in Computer Networks and Communications in the Faculty of Computing, Engineering and Technology at Staffordshire University starting in October 2008. Her research focuses on performance modelling and analysis of communication networks, sensor and ad hoc networks, quality of service provisioning, and cross-layer interactions in wireless networks. More recently, her work has extended to cybersecurity applications, including IoT botnet detection, federated learning frameworks, and privacy-preserving deep learning techniques.

Dr. Mbarushimana has authored numerous publications in her field. Key works include 'The Effect of Routing Protocol Dynamics on TCP Performance in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks' (2007, with Ali Shahrabi and Hadi Larijani), 'E-TCP: Enhanced TCP for IEEE802.11e Mobile Ad Hoc Networks' (2009, with A. Shahrabi), and 'A cross-layer TCP enhancement in QoS-aware mobile ad hoc networks' (2013, with A. Shahrabi and T. Buggy, published in Computer Networks). Recent contributions encompass 'Towards Privacy-Preserving Deep Learning for Intelligent Transportation Systems' (2026, Applied Sciences, with Ariwan M. Rasool and Nader Sohrabi Safa), 'A Two-Stage Hybrid Federated Learning Framework for Privacy-Preserving IoT Anomaly Detection and Classification' (2025), and 'SecFedDNN: A Secure Federated Deep Learning Framework for Edge-Cloud Environments' (2025). Her research output has garnered 298 citations on ResearchGate, reflecting her impact in networking and cybersecurity domains. She contributes to teaching modules such as digital forensics and fundamentals of computing, supporting student placements and research initiatives at the university.
