Royal Military College of Canada - Kingston

Hey there! 👋 Welcome to my spot on the web!

I'm like a mix of an engineer and a researcher, always curious and trying new things. I started my academic journey at the University of Ottawa, where I studied electrical engineering and computer science for my bachelor's and master's degrees.

For over a decade now, I've gained rich experiences across diverse industries and global landscapes. From my early days in field service roles to assuming technical leadership positions, I've navigated the complex challenges of life and real-world engineering with resilience and adaptability.

But here's the cool part: I've always had this itch for learning. After finishing up my master's degree under the supervision of Prof. Claude D'Amours, I thought, why not keep the momentum going? So, I dove into the Ph.D. adventure in Wireless security at the Royal Military College of Canada as civilian, with Prof. Abdellah Chehri as my director of research. I was doing this while I am having a full time job, a family and the birth of two beautiful kids :D. The Ph.D. project was not a plan for making money or looking for new positions, don't get me wrong! I would love to have better finance or a new career and I am working on that, but it was for the sake of learning. But the nice thing is that we got public funding for the project from MITACS and with the collaboration with Thales Digital Identity and Security. I also work in collaboration with researchers from different countries and write papers about the effect of AI and its use, new technologies or techniques such as smart cities, digital twin, renewable energies, and cybersecurity. I have tried many startup ideas and work on new ones.

Here's where I am! Keep learning and enjoying the journey...

TLDR Abs Bib HTML

The purpose of this paper is to discuss different existing technologies related to sensing in smart cities. The continuous growth of urban areas is a reality that should be faced by innovating more solutions that are efficient. Smart cities are one of the remarkable solutions, it can be seen as different intelligent systems or platforms that work together to ensure better sustainability. Sensors are at the core of smart cities. They collect data from different environments or infrastructures in order to send them to the cloud using different communications platforms. These data can be used to better manage the infrastructures or provide smarter services. However, they are various issues and challenges related to the ubiquitous sensors that should be solved. In the last section of this paper, a case study of smart water distribution system is presented with an overview of the related issues and challenges such as reliability, cost, and scalability. Also, a table is provided in this section to compare the results and challenges of the last five studies on producing smart pipes with the most common challenges.
