Research Activities

My research interests span different areas in wireless communication systems and networks,  such as coded modulation, speech/image and video transmission, random access,  information  theoretical aspects and data security. 

I have been working as a Center Director in the Research Institute since September 1997. During the first year, my efforts have focused on restructuring the activities of the Development and Manufacturing Center. Since the establishment of the Center for Communications and Computer Research in May 1998, different research groups within the center have been established, developed and supported. My responsibilities as a center Director are

  • Identify potentially marketable  research areas.
  • Develop new research areas and facilities.
  • Manage more than 10 highly qualified and experienced researchers.
  • Oversee the management and successful execution of research projects
  • Attract new research funding

These efforts in addition to the efforts of the center members have resulted in research funding of more than SR 4 million.  

In addition, I have been leading an active group of graduate students to work on different  research topics. I supervised  7 M.Sc. students. Moreover,  I  was a thesis committee member of 16 M. Sc. Students.
