Machine Learning Researcher · Fiber-Optic Networks Specialist · Computer Engineering Educator
Instructor & Researcher, American College of the Middle East, Kuwait
Ph.D., Institut Polytechnique de Paris (Télécom Paris)
I am an instructor and researcher at the American College of the Middle East in Kuwait, where I teach core courses in the Computer Engineering Technology program and conduct research at the intersection of machine learning and engineering systems.
I hold a Ph.D. in Networks, Information, and Communications from the Institut Polytechnique de Paris (Télécom Paris), where I worked as a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Early-Stage Researcher within the EU H2020 REAL-NET network. My doctoral research focused on equalization in optical fiber communication using model-based neural networks, combining classical digital signal processing with deep learning to reduce receiver complexity in coherent optical systems.
Prior to my Ph.D., I earned an M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Idaho, working on low-complexity algorithms for automatic modulation classification, and a B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from the Jordan University of Science and Technology.
My current research explores AI-assisted robotics control and machine learning placement within sensing and control pipelines. I am passionate about bridging research and education, and I actively mentor students in robotics and embedded AI.
