MS thesis · 2026
I built and compared deep learning models that separate AI-generated from human-written text on a balanced dataset of about 500,000 samples. A paper based on the thesis is in preparation.

Summary
A survey of 385 professionals at FinTech firms, digital banks, payment providers and cybersecurity companies in Pakistan, analysed with SmartPLS 4. It finds that AI-based fraud detection, machine learning, real-time monitoring and anomaly detection together give strong protection against digital financial scams.

Summary
How AI can move occupational risk assessment in oil and gas from reacting to predicting. A survey of safety and AI professionals, analysed with regression and structural equation modelling, shows that AI adoption and predictive risk assessment are strongly linked to better safety outcomes (the model explains 69% of the variance), while data quality, cost and limited expertise remain barriers.

Summary
A survey of 412 university students, analysed with structural equation modelling. Using generative AI in entrepreneurship education raises students' intention to start digital businesses, partly through their attitudes, and a supportive university climate makes the effect stronger (58% of variance explained).
