France

• Digital Twins and Private Networks
• Designed a virtual replica of a private factory capable of mimicking its real-world counterpart's conditions and parameters.
• Used ray-tracing deterministic models to compute the propagation channel.
• Implemented different search-based algorithms (Genetic algorithm, Swarm Intelligence, Gradient Descent, Nelder-mead).
• Optimized different metrics (\textit{Coverage, Capacity, SINR, BER, MER, EVM}).
• Developed different machine learning algorithms to predict performance and improve accuracy.

Rennes, Brittany, France

• Cloudcast project: Virtualization of broadcast networks
• Modeled IP Packet losses for a virtualized network (ASTC 3.0 /DVB‑X2) using Markov chain.
• Implemented application layer‑FEC codes (fountain codes) to mitigate packet losses using Python.
• Quantified the Interlayer packet Loss spread over different system layers.
• Derived EVM/MER closed‑form metric expressions (upper, and lower bounds) that include all layer parameters.
• Validate the design through design reviews, detailed analysis, simulation, and product testing.

Lille Area & Reims, France

• ANR ARBurst project: Robust communication over unknown environments
• Constructed a module used in front of conventional receivers to allow them to adapt to unknown environments.
• Implemented supervised and unsupervised learning algorithms to estimate module parameters with high performance.
• Developed and evaluated the module performance for long codewords (i.e., used over optical and satellite communications).
• Designed the module to match low computational complexity receivers (IoT, short packets).
• Validate the design through detailed analysis and simulation of vast Gaussian and non‑Gaussian environments.

Beirut, Lebanon

• BP Detection associated with NB-LDPC Decoding
• Combined MIMO transmission techniques with NB‑LDPC codes to obtain reliable communications.
• Fixed point analysis of the system using a C‑based simulator.
• Proposed a novel approach to control the data flow that enables 4‑bit representation.
• FPGA implementation of NB‑LDPC decoder using vertical shuffle schedule algorithm.
