About Hamza
Hello! I am a Doctor (PhD) in Cognitive Radio and Wireless Communications and an automotive hardware engineer specializing in Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), connectivity technologies (V2X, C-V2X), and autonomous vehicle (AV) platforms. I am passionate about designing innovative hardware solutions that contribute to safer, smarter, and more connected mobility.
My doctoral research focused on intelligent spectrum sensing techniques using machine learning, addressing key challenges in wireless communication and IoT environments. This background allows me to combine strong expertise in wireless systems, signal processing, and embedded hardware design.
With experience in the automotive industry, I have worked on the design, prototyping, and validation of electronic systems supporting ADAS and connected vehicle technologies. I enjoy collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to develop reliable hardware platforms for the next generation of connected and autonomous vehicles.
