I received the Diplome d’Ingenieur degree (summa cum laude) in telecommunication engineering from the Ecole Superieure des Communications de Tunis (SUP’COM), Tunisia, and the Masters in Electrical and Computer Engineering (Hons.) from the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), KSA. I am now pursuing a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering within WaveCore Arenberg at KU LEUVEN, Leuven, Belgium.
