Dr Basel worked at the School of Engineering and Built Environment at Edinburgh Napier University as a lecturer. Before that, he worked as a research assistant at the University of Greenwich working on machine learning algorithms for non-destructive flaw detection in pipes. In 2018, Dr Basel was a visiting scholar at the University of Cambridge. In 2014, he was a Research Fellow at the University of Greenwich working on a project titled "Towards 5G: Air Interface Techniques" which was a collaboration with British Telecom (BT).
His background is in communication engineering and my research interests include data science, wireless communication, real-time systems, information freshness, Internet of things, mathematical modelling, and applying machine learning solutions to real world problems such as sustainability and healthcare applications.
Throughout his research career, he has published seventeen papers in top journals and conferences. The papers are a result of several collaborations he has developed with scholars from world-leading institutes from the UK and internationally: the University of Cambridge, the University of Oxford, the University of Glasgow, and Ajman University UAE.
