Education
1 1992-1995
Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering (Telecommunications) from ENST (École Nationale Supérieure des Télécommunications, Paris, France) 2 June 1995:
The thesis, entitled "Statistics of Interference and Capacity in Cellular Mobile Radio Systems", focused on cellular wireless communications and networks and received the congratulations of the panel.
Professors Andrew J. Viterbi and James L. Massey reviewed the thesis and served as president and member of the panel, respectively, on the dissertation examination.
2 1989-1991
Engineering degree (Diplôme d'ingénieur) from ENST. Last year of study focused on satellite communications.
3 1985-1989
Bachelor of Electrical Engineering from the Lebanese University (Faculté de Génie de l'Université Libanaise).
4 Ranked first in Lebanon in 1984, at the Lebanese National Examination for the Lebanese Baccalaureate part II, "Mathématiques Élémentaires".
Work experience
A) Since April 1996
Director - Working with OGERO (a State corporation under the aegis of the Ministry of Post and Telecommunications of Lebanon). This included:
July 1997 to present
Director of the Strategic Planning Department of OGERO. The Department is responsible for planning the expansion and enhancement of Lebanon's telecommunication services.
April 1996 - June 1997
Director of the project to extend telephone service throughout Lebanon's national territory.
In parallel with the duties and responsibilities listed above for the period 1996 to 1998, has been keenly involved in the following activities:
1) Providing telecommunication expertise to the Lebanese Ministry of Post and Telecommunications on the issue of radio regulation in Lebanon (FM and TV): Preparation of a confidential report.
2) Providing telecommunication expertise to the Lebanese Ministry of Post and Telecommunications on the issue of acquiring a complete spectrum management system for use in Lebanon: Study of confidential documents and contracts.
3) Leading a team responsible for preparing a study for the establishment of a quality system for OGERO, based on the ISO 9000 family.
B) January 1992 - March 1996
Research Engineer - Working with ENST (École Nationale Supérieure des Télécommunications, Paris, France). This included:
i) Participation in the European RACE II project (12 publications, see appendix) on third-generation wireless telecommunications:
This participation was concerned principally with the establishment of statistical models for interference as well as comparison of multiple access techniques in the context of cellular mobile radio systems. Cellular capacity was a major point in the comparison. The findings of this research constituted the main material of the Ph.D. dissertation.
ii) Organization (selection of candidates and of academic programmes, teaching of advanced courses) with Philippe Godlewski, Professor at ENST, of a French "mastère" (at ENST) specializing in mobile radio communications and networks.
iii) Participation in the teaching of courses on probability, information theory and coding, digital communications, and networks performance analysis at ENST over the entire period (1992-1996).
Skills
Recognized skills in writing and reviewing technical reports in the areas of performance evaluation of cellular radio systems (capacity, interference modelling, traffic, etc. …) and digital communications (reviewer for IEEE transactions on communications, 1994-1996).
