Doctor in electronics and systems

Experience

Present–Nov.24

Firmware engineer, Quantized Technologies Inc., Calgary, Canada.

Project : FPGA control of next-generation quantum key distribution solution.

Oct.2024–Feb.2022

Postdoctoral researcher, Quantum Cloud Lab, Calgary, Canada.

Topic : The design and implementation of FPGA based control system for MDI-QKD prototype.

Jan.2022–June 2021

Visitor Professor, Radio Lab, Calgary, Canada.

Project : Adaptive Digital Predistortion for RF Power Amplifier Linearization.

May.2021–Sept.2019

Postdoctoral researcher, Microwave Electronics Research Laboratory,

Tunis, Tunisia.

Topic : The design and implementation of an adaptive Digital Predistorter DPD for RF

Power Amplifier (PA) suitable for the linearization of narrowband and wideband transmitters developed with a hybrid FPGA platform.

Collaborations: This work is supported by iRadio Laboratory, Schulich School of Engineering,

University of Calgary, Calgary, Canada.

Aug.2019–

July 2018

Electronic engineer, Centre for Research on Microelectronics and

Nanotechnology, Sousse, Tunisia.

Topic : This work aims to propose hardware reconfigurable architectures for implementing real time DPD applications with stringent resource-consumption and runtime constraints.

The proposed adaptive DPD algorithm is carefully performed, in order to meet the real time execution requirements, in the Zynq-7000 Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) with an

Analog Devices AD9371 Wideband Transceiver.

Collaborations: This work is supported by iRadio Laboratory, Schulich School of Engineering,

University of Calgary, Calgary, Canada.

June2018- Sept.2015

Assistant Professeur, Higher Institute of Industrial Systems of Gabes

ISSIG, Gabes, Tunisia.

Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering.

June2015-June.2014

Postdoctoral researcher, Lab-STICC, UMR 6285, University of Western

Brittany, Brest, France.

Topic : Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) with embedded intelligence, which divided into three themes of Human-Machine Interactions, Trajectories / Path Planning, and Embedded

Systems, using Reconfigurable FPGA Architecture, to be dynamically configured according to UAV mission requirements.

Collaborations: This work is supported by SWARMS, a three year collaborative project between LabSTICC, a CNRS / Telecom Bretagne / UBO Univ. / UBS Univ. Lab. in

Brest and Lorient in France, and the Australian Research Centre for Aerospace Automation

(ARCAA), Queensland University of Technology QUT in Brisbane, Australia.

May2014- Jan2011

PhD Student Researcher, Pascal Institute, UMR 6602, Blaise Pascal

University, Clermont-Ferrand, France.

Topic : This work aims to propose a new design methodology which offers more opportunities for accelerating the parallelization of sequential processing image algorithms on parallel and pipeline architecture. The proposed approach provides a rapid prototyping tool as a graphic programming environment (CubeGen). Further, it offers a set of parallel software skeletons as a communication library, providing a software abstraction to enable quick implementation of complex image processing applications on field-programmable gate array (FPGA) platform.

The goals then are to quantify the impact of taking several complex applications in the developed MPSoC approach and therefore to demonstrate the validity of our original approach. This allows enhancing our libraries (hardware IPs or parallel skeletons).

Collaborations : This work has been conducted in the context of an european euripides project SEAMOVES.
