CV
From October 2013 until December 2021, I have been serving as Scientific Staff in the Institute of Telematics, University of Lübeck, Germany. During this tenure, I got my Doctorate of Computer Engineering (Dr.-Ing.) from the University of Lübeck, Germany and subsequently served as Postdoc at the Institute of Telematics of Prof. Dr. Stefan Fischer.
Research Interests
I am a member of Internet Society (ISOC) and actively contributing as a reviewer of numerous prestigious conferences and journals. Based on my contributions to the peer review process, I have been awarded certificates of outstanding reviewer by the Computer Networks (Elsevier) and the Sensors and Actuators A: Physical (Elsevier).
Previously, I have published numerous articles in image processing and computer vision. My recent publications are regarding location-management in VANETs, channel-estimation and QoS in stream-based multichannel WSNs. Other areas of my interest include blockchain enabled networks, fog/edge computing, machine learning/artificial intelligence and their applications in IoT/IoV, smart grids, smart cities, smart homes, smart transportation networks and smart healthcare applications.
