Profiles

Karim is a graduate from Bauman Moscow State Technical University. He received a specialist degree in a field of electrical engineering (2014 – 2020), with a focus on radars and wireless communications. He worked at part-time job as embedded systems and DSP engineer for 2.5 years. After that he had internship in summer of 2019 at Huawei Russian Research Institute (RRI) and after graduating from university, he worked at Huawei RRI for 1 year. During his job he improved receiver’s sensitivity applying some convex and non-convex optimization approaches and provide some dimensionality reduction approaches for system identification.

Nowadays Karim works in topics related to Joint Sensing And Communication (JSAC), quantum computing and communications over unlicensed spectrum.

Adaptive algorithms in wireless communications, Radar signal processing and machine learning. Quantum computing.

Khalil obtained a bachelor of science degree in electromechanical engineering (with honor) in 2013 and a master of science in robotics in 2014 from the National Engineering School of Sfax (ENIS), Tunisia.

Khalil's Ph.D. research work is about "Miniaturized Drug Delivery Systems for Biomedical Applications" and his research interests include Drug Delivery Systems, Micropumps, Biomedical Devices, Bioengineering, and MEMS.
