Research Assistant, University of Toronto

I am currently working as a research assistant under the supervision of Professor Baochun Li at the University of Toronto. I am a member of the iQua research group in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. The research investigates the aspects of network coding. My focus is on the security of architectures that use network coding.

Research Assistant, American University of Beirut

I worked as a research assistant under the supervision of Professor Mazen Saghir and Professor Zaher Dawy at the American University of Beirut. We worked in affiliation with the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Sweden on a Real-time Electrocardiogram (ECG) Monitoring System that monitors the cardiac activity and reports any diseases or disorders. We designed a system that uses Hilbert and wavelet transforms to extract the characteristics of the ECG signal. It was able to detect a significant number of diseases. We implemented the system on FPGA and tested its functionality and accuracy. The design proved to meet real time and area constraints.
