Biography

"I am currently an Associate Professor in Computer Science at Prince Sultan University, and a Research Associate at the CISTER Research Unit. I received my Habilitation degree in Computer Science on September 2011. I was acting as faculty member in the College of Computer Science and Information Systems at Al-Imam University (Riyadh) from September 2006 until August 2011. I was also a Consultant in Networking Systems in the IT department of Al-Imam Mohamed bin Saud University during 2012. I am also leader of COINS Research Group in the CCIS at Al-Imam Mohamed bin Saud University. I have received my Ph.D. from the National Polytechnic Institute of Lorraine (INPL) and INRIA/LORIA, in 2004. My primary research interest is the design and implementation of wireless sensor networks and multi-robot applications. I am also interesting in applying cloud computing technologies for mobile robots and sensor networks. I have driven the research efforts in the context of the open-ZB research frameworks that have contributed to the release of an open-source toolset of the IEEE 802.15.4/ZigBee protocol stack. I am also the Chair of the TinyOS ZigBee Working Group, whose purpose is achieving a standard-compliant open-source implementation of ZigBee over TinyOS. In addition, I am involved in the CONET European Network of Excellence, in particular with the research cluster COTS-based architecture for QoS in large-scale distributed embedded systems. I am interested in several other topics in particular, Localization and Tracking, Cooperative Robotics, Security, and Link Quality Estimation."
