Paper Acceptance
My first PhD's paper entitled "Menu or a la carte? An architecture to make the data plane of constrained wireless networks programmable" has been accepted in Algotel/Cores 2024, a national French conference. I am thrilled to have the paper accepted especially that I submitted within the first 4 months of my PhD's beginning.
2024 GDR RSD
I attended the GDR event which is dedicated for the presentation and discussion of the last advancemnts in French research in Networking and Distributed Systems. The event comprises all national research groups in the area which paracitipted amnog 2 days from 31st January to 1st February 2024.
New Position
I started my new research journey in ICube Lab in the University of Strasbourg under the supervision of Prof. Julien Montavont and Prof. Thmoas Noel. PhD Topic: Software Defined Low-power Lossy Wireless Networks (SD-LLWNs).
Graduation
I graudated from the University of Calabria in MSc Degree in Telecommunication Engineering: Smart Sensing, Computing and Networking. My Master Thesis was about Improving the Quality of Federated Learning using Programmable Networks under the supervision of Prof. Pasquale Pace and Prof. Antonio Iera.
Hello! I am Ahmad Mahmod. PhD Student at Networks Team, ICube Laboratory, Strasbourg University.
My main research interest is programmable networks using Software Defined Network (SDN) specialized in IoT networks.
I have an experience with Embedded Systems and Machine Learning especially Federated Learning.
