He received the Ph.D. degree in Computer Science and Engineering from The University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) in May 2008 and the M.S. degree in Computer Science from Southern Methodist University in December 2004. He also received the Doctorat de Specialite and the Diploma of Engineering degrees in Computer Science from the Faculty of Sciences of Tunis, Tunisia, in 1996 and 1992, respectively. He was on the faculty of the Superior School of Communications of Tunis (Sup’Com Tunis), Tunisia, from 1992 to 2005 (engineer of computer science, 1992-1993; lecturer of computer science, 1993-1997; assistant professor of computer science,
1997-2005; received tenure in 1999). His main research interests lie in the areas of wireless sensor and mobile ad hoc networking, and multihop mobile wireless Internet architectures and protocols. In particular, he is interested in coverage, connectivity, energy- efficient data routing and information dissemination, fault tolerance, and security in wireless sensor networks, and the interconnection between wireless sensor networks, mobile ad hoc networks, and the global IP Internet. He received the US National Science Foundation (NSF) Research Grant Award and the Faculty Research and Development Grant Award from Hofstra College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, both in 2009. He published his first book “Challenges and Opportunities of Connected k-Covered Wireless Sensor Networks: From Sensor Deployment to Data Gathering” (Springer, 2009). He received the John Steven Schuchman Award for
 2006-2007 Outstanding Research by a PhD Student and the Nortel Outstanding CSE Doctoral Dissertation Award, both from UTA in 2008 and 2009, respectively. He was a recipient of the TPC Best Paper Award from EWSN ’08 and the Best Contribution Paper Award from IEEE PerCom ’08—Google PhD forum. Also, he was an ACM Student Research Competition (ACM SRC) nominee at ACM MobiCom ’05. He was selected for inclusion in the 2006 edition of Who’s Who in America and the 2008-2009 Honors Edition of Madison Who’s Who Among Executives and Professionals. He serves as an Associate Editor of the International Journal of Communication Systems and the International journal of Network Protocols and Algorithms. He is on the Editorial board of the International Journal of Mobile Communications and the International Journal on Advances in Networks and Services. Also, he is on the Editorial Review Board of
the International Journal of Distributed Systems and Technologies. He is the founder and co-editor of the Sciences Undegraduate And Graduate REsearch Experiences (Sciences U-AGREE) Journal, which is published at Hofstra University. He served as Program Co-Chair of IQ2S’09, and Workshop Co-Chair of WiMAN’09. He serves as Workshop Co-Chair of WiMAN’10 and Co-Chair of IWCMC’10. He has served as a reviewer for several international journals, including IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing, IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems, ACM Transactions on Sensor Networks, IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology, IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications, Mobile and Network Applications, Wireless Networks, Ad Hoc Networks, Computer Networks, Ad Hoc & Sensor Wireless Networks, International Journal of Sensor Networks, Information Processing Letters, Computer Communications, Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing, Information Sciences, International Journal of Computer and Applications, and Data and Knowledge Engineering Journal, and as a Technical Program Committee member of numerous IEEE and ACM conferences and symposia, including IEEE Infocom, IEEE ICDCS, IEEE PerCom, SSS, IEEE MASS, IEEE MSN, IEEE LCN, and EWSN.
