       Biography

I am currently working as innovation strategy consultant for DIGIPORT Technopole Lille Métropole (EuraTechnologies). In 2008, I worked as R&D embedded software engineer for Cisco - Scientific Atlanta Belgium. Before that (2005-2008), I worked as senior research engineer for Thomson R&D France at the Content Delivery & Compression Lab (located in Rennes). I was involved in many projects related to the end to end content delivery. Just before my work at Thomson, I worked for 2 years as assistant professor (ATER) at IFSIC (Institut de Formation Supérieure en Informatique et Communication) which is the Department of Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Rennes I. 

I received my Ph.D. (Multicast Routing : Small Groups and traffic engineering in high speed networks) in June 2004 (Thesis Dissertation) in Computer Engineering from the University of Rennes I (Thesis prepared in IRISA/INRIA Rennes labs).

I received my undergraduate degree in Computer Engineering from the Lebanese University in November 1994 and the Master's degree in modeling and intensive calculation from the Lebanese University and the Saint-Joseph university in 1999. I hold also a Master's degree in project management from the IAE Lille.

During my undergradaute and graduate time, I have worked as a Database and System Administrator for NCERD and as a Network Administrator for the computer center of the Lebanese university (CRI). I worked also as a part time web designer at AUF (Agency for universities teaching in French).

I am involved in many research projects in France (Pôle de compététivité), Europe (ITEA, CELTIC, FP7), Africa (Cooperation with the ENSI of Tunis) and Asia (Wide project Japan). 

My research interests include content delivery (IPTV and mobile) to a STB or a mobile, digital video broadcasting, Peer to Peer, multicast (especially Small Group Multicast), Internet QoS and Traffic engineering (MPLS) in high speed networks, Network Games, mobile IPv6 and resource management.

My curriculum vitae as well as a detailed professional portfolio (research + teaching experience) are available on-line (also you have the french version). If you would like to contact me, please send me an e-mail or use the contact information listed above.
