Research Specialist

Center of Excellence for Telecom Applications (CETA)

An individual who is fascinated by electronics since elementary school, I remember when my dad bought me the first PC and the first thing I did is open up the case to see what is the mind inside, motherboard, since that time I wanted to do is designing complex electronics boards. I graduated from King Saud University with the first-honor degree in electronics and automation. I have taken courses mainly on circuit and systems, communication electronics, digital circuits, and control. My graduation project was hardware-in-loop simulation for unmanned aerial vehicles where we design an embedded systems to test and verify the flight controllers in the lab instead carrying a real scenario, most the work was done on MATLAB and VHDL. During my internship in King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology, I worked on FPGA, signal processing, peripheral interface design using VHDL.

I started my career in King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology as a researcher on RADAR and EW technologies. The first project was to design Digital Radio Frequency Memory (DRFM) board targeting active jammers and the printed circuit board have taken almost 18 months to finish. The first prototype have been manufactured and tested successfully. It is now used mainly in most of our EW systems. Currently, I’m working in a joint project with University of California – San Diego in telecommunication. My task is focused on RF front-end design and integration.
