Founder
Faizan Ahmed, MBA, MS
Faizan Ahmed is the founder of ResearchSecurity.ai and a technology leader with more than 25 years of experience building and leading enterprise technology capabilities, including senior technology leadership within the university research enterprise.
Before founding ResearchSecurity.ai, Faizan led Research IT within Rutgers University's Office for Research, supporting technology and digital capabilities across a complex research environment. His experience spans enterprise systems, research technology, digital transformation, data integration, and the operational challenge of connecting institutional processes across organizational and technology boundaries.
ResearchSecurity.ai grew from a practical observation: research institutions are being asked to make increasingly consequential research-security, disclosure, and certification decisions while the information needed to support those decisions often remains fragmented across systems, offices, documents, disclosures, and external sources.
Faizan founded ResearchSecurity.ai to build technology that helps institutions bring those fragmented signals together into structured, reviewable, evidence-supported processes — while preserving institutional judgment and human oversight.
Faizan holds an MBA and a Master of Science in Computer Science, complementing his work across technology, institutional operations, and the research enterprise.
