I am a third-year Ph.D. Student in IIK at NTNU advised by Frank Alexander Kraemer, Kerstin Bach, and Gavin Taylor. I am currently working as part of ROBIOT project (Reinforcement Learning for Intelligent Autonomous IoT). My main research goal is to develop and apply reinforcement learning algorithms that enable IoT devices to operate autonomously in the real world.

Previously, I graduated in 2018 with M.Eng in Information and Communication Engineering from Chosun University, South Korea and a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from Qassim University, Saudi Arabia.
