NICE TO MEET YOU

I'm Dr. Faisal

I am an AI and Cybersecurity Top 2% Research Scientist and Assistant Professor at the University of the Fraser Valley, Canada — dedicated to helping the next generation grow up with ethical, safe, and creative tech skills through hands-on microcredentials.

I specialize in Artificial Intelligence, AI Safety, and Ethical Chatbot Development. My research focuses on secure large language models (LLMs), Generative AI, Reinforcement Learning, and AI for wireless systems.

Through my initiative, The Ethical AI Lab for Kids, I design fun, age-appropriate learning experiences that include:

  • Cybersecurity training through interactive games

  • Online AI courses focused on ethics

  • Building creative projects like an AI Safety Bot

  • Developing ethical chatbots for kids

  • Teaching logic and coding in a playful, hands-on way

My goal is to combine strong academic knowledge with engaging, child-centered learning — so young learners don’t just become great coders, but thoughtful, responsible digital citizens.
