About Me

Tamer Abdelaziz [ORCID][Google Scholar]
PhD Student at National University of Singapore, Singapore.
Assistant Lecturer at Helwan University, Cairo, Egypt.

I am being supervised by Associate Professor Khoo Siau Cheng (NUS) and Associate Professor Aquinas Hobor (UCL).


I am passionate about researching topics related to Security and Privacy of Distributed Ledgers, Programming Languages, and Software Engineering. Currently, my work focuses on Blockchain Verification and the Analysis of Smart Contract Vulnerabilities. I employ deep learning techniques to enhance these areas of study.


I submitted my PhD thesis titled "Towards Secure Smart Contracts: A Deep Learning Approach for Detecting Security Threats", and am now eagerly anticipating my upcoming thesis defense.
