Bio

I am an Associate Professor and ARC DECRA Fellow at the University of Canberra, Australia. Before that, I was a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), USA. I received a Ph.D. degree from Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore, and a B.Eng. degree in computer systems from Birzeit University (BZU), Palestine.

Research

I am currently interested in privacy-preserving sensing technologies that comply with data privacy regulations. I design and create novel Internet of things systems that leverage machine learning and convex optimization with applications in people-centric sensing, human activity recognition, and smart cities.

Recent News

  • I refute common misconceptions about privacy-preserving Internet of things in this paper (accepted for publication in IEEE Communications Magazine).

  • I received the 2021 Mentorship Excellence Award from the Faculty of Science and Technology. I thank my students and mentees for their nominations.

  • I received the 2020 Early Career Researcher Excellence Award (provided by the University of Canberra's Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Research and Innovation).

  • Our recent research work on the digital privacy divide is featured on the front page of TechXplore.

  • I have been elevated to an IEEE Senior Member.

  • RF-Pose3D has been accepted at ACM SIGCOMM (acceptance rate 18%)
