I am a Ph.D. candidate and research assistant at the Institute of Computer and Network Engineering at the Technical University of Braunschweig, Germany. In 2017, I obtained both my Engineering Diploma in Industrial Engineering and my master’s degree in Information System Techniques from the National Engineering School of Tunis, Tunisia.
My current research focuses on integrating machine learning and edge computing in next-generation network architectures. Recent work includes optimizing LoRa through TinyML-based channel hopping, analyzing signaling performance for reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS), and using reinforcement learning for serverless function scaling at the network edge. By integrating AI-driven approaches with cutting-edge networking technologies, I aim to contribute to the design of intelligent, adaptive, and high-performance infrastructures for the future of connectivity.
