Atta Badii

Atta Badii is a high ranking Professor at the University of Reading, UK (Chair of Secure Pervasive Technologies). He has a track record of over 20 years of trans-disciplinary academic and industrial research contributions in systems engineering; rooted in the disciplines that contribute to socially responsible and inclusive innovation of security-privacy-aware ICT to serve pervasive-assistive technologies. This work has resulted in solution innovation involving a convergence of mobile telecommunication with emergent internet, cloud services, and, intelligent media technologies in smart environments. Such smart environments are to enable fluid availability and inter-operability of assistive services and digital media content to meet the needs of various life-styles and work-styles everywhere (as people interact securely with their personal real-digital-virtual worlds within the globalised “Internet-of-People-Things-Services”).
