His research is financially supported by several grants. He has authored a number of high quality research papers in refereed international conferences and journals. He also serves as a reviewer for Springer, Elsevier, and IEEE: different high impact factor journals.  He has been involved in more than 20 conferences and workshops in various capacities, such as chair and technical program committee member. He has successfully completed more than 25 research projects. 

Teaching

​Dr Bakhsh's responsibilities are based on coordinating and managing a research facility, and teaching undergraduate and postgraduate courses within the department. He taught the postgraduate course in MS Advanced Network; as part of this, he lectured a core module on network protocols and the implication understanding of the matter. The assessment's core is a series of practices that focus on hybrid technologies developed in his research center on postgraduate learning, awareness, and development. He taught various courses within Departments at undergraduate/graduate level and devised new learning and knowledge transfer mechanisms in classrooms to promote effective/useful learning.

Research

​He has obtained research grants on Cyber Security, IoT, and Fog Computing from the Deanship of Scientific Research, Ministry of Education. As an international speaker, he has given lectures and tutorials on high tech and emerging topics in Cyber Security and wireless communication networks and systems at various conferences, workshops, and seminars.
