My research interests span different areas in digital communication and signal processing as well as networks. I am interested in the constellation shaping for PAPR reduction in OFDM systems. Moreover, I pursue research related to erasure coding to enhance the performance of communication systems and computer networks covering cross layer designs. Also, I have contributions in the general area of error control coding. Finally, I am interested to include in my research activities: new applications of Wavelet packet transform and network coding.
