The aim of this Ph.D. program is to investigate the IoT performance improvements by means of passive technologies. To achieve this aim, I pointed out that the integration of passive technologies in IoT systems requires modification in different levels of the IoT systems, such as the MAC layer of the IoT stack protocol. To better understand the issue, a comprehensive study is conducted at the primary level on the relevant existing literature. Then, an evaluation of the proposed algorithms that enable the passive technology integration into the IoT system is performed in the ns-3 simulator.

Assistant Teacher

University Of Texas-Pan American
09.2014 - 05.2015

I taught the Bachelor's degree students how to work with basic devices in the laboratory such as power supply, oscilloscope, multimeter, function generator, transformer, and three-phase motor. I worked as a tutor and grader in the digital system I. I taught the basic concept of the logic systems, such as Boolean algebra, Shannon expansion, Karnaugh map, and truth table.

Digitizer

University Of Texas Pan-American
09.2013 - 08.2014

I digitized tapes, records, and books. Editing old manuscripts with software (Photoshop) at UTPA library.

Tutor

Self-employee
09.2009 - 09.2011

I taught freshmen college students on courses in Linear control problem solving and electronics.

Internships

Intern (Research assistance-UNIVERSITAT OBERTA DE CATALUNYA)

I studied IEEE 802.11ac (WiFi technology) characteristics specifically at the MAC layer. Then I worked with the raspberry pi and evaluated and observed the MAC layer parameters changes with this hardware.

Intern (ENERGYAND INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING DESIGN COMPANY(EIED))

I studied how electronics sensors are important in oil refineries and maps of the sensors that are used in this application.
