Smart mobility & intelligent transportation
Mobility management, traffic-flow forecasting and predictive models for connected and autonomous transportation systems.
Research
Research
My research examines how mobile and connected systems can anticipate change, communicate efficiently and remain reliable—from individual vehicles to city-scale infrastructure. This programme is developed through ICAS Lab — Intelligent Connected Autonomous Systems at Kuwait University and international collaboration with the University of Ottawa.
Themes
Four connected areas
These themes share a common goal: translating advances in networking and machine learning into safer, more efficient and more sustainable connected environments.
Vehicular & wireless networks
Scalable topology discovery, handover management and controller placement for software-defined and 5G/6G-enabled vehicular networks.
Machine learning for connected systems
Spatio-temporal representation, time-series classification, perception and fault detection in dynamic networked environments.
Secure IoT & smart-city infrastructure
Resource-efficient, secure communications and fault-tolerant network services for IoT and urban infrastructure.
Research environment
Research laboratories
Research leadership and international collaboration supporting connected and autonomous systems.
