Short Biography

I am currently (Since Sept. 2006) an assistant-professor at Al-Imam University (Riyadh) in the College of Computer Science and Information Systems and a Research Associate at the IPP-HURRAY! Research Group.

I am also leader of COINS Research Group in the CCIS at Al-Imam Mohamed bin Saud University.
I have received my Ph.D. from the National Polytechnic Institute of Lorraine (INPL) and INRIA/LORIA.

My current research work is concerned with the design of large-scale Wireless Sensor Netwoks while maintaining QoS, Security, Mobility and Reliability. We are particularly assessing the IEEE 802.15.4/ZigBee protocol stack as a federating communication protocol for large-scale Wireless Sensor Networks.

In the practical side, my research focuses on the implementation of standard-compliant implementation of the IEEE802.15.4/ZigBee protocol stack for WSNs. I am the chair of the TinyOS ZigBee Working Group, whose purpose is achieving the standard-compliant implementation of ZigBee over TinyOS.
