Assistant Professor · Maître de Conférences · Agadir, Morocco
I research at the intersection of artificial intelligence and the edge, building QoS-aware IoT and edge systems, and I teach what I learn. Affiliated with the Faculty of Sciences at Université Ibn Zohr · LabSIV . Alongside research and teaching, I speak at developer conferences and help make digital skills accessible across Souss-Massa.
Designing compact deep-learning models for resource-constrained edge and IoT hardware.
Predicting and balancing conflicting quality-of-service metrics across IoT network stacks.
Improving physical-layer security in IoT using deep sequence models.
Edge intelligence, federated learning, and semantic communication for the device–edge–core hierarchy of IoT networks.
