Biography:


Nouha Baccour was born in Sfax, Tunisia, in 1981. She has an Engineering degree in computer science, from the National Engineering School of Sfax, Tunisia, in June 2005 and a Master degree in computer science from the National Engineering School of Sfax, Tunisia, in June 2006.

Since January 2007, she is a PhD student at the National Engineering School of Sfax, Tunisia. Her research activity is conducted within ReDCAD research unit, in colaboration with CISTER research unit. She is involved as an external collaborator in the CONET European Network of Excellence, in particular with the research cluster COTS-based architecture for QoS in large-scale distributed embedded systems.

Her current research interests are in the field of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). They are focused on the characterization, quality estimation, and modeling of low-power links; mobility management schemas; and hierarchical routing.

She is currently serving as an Assistant Professor of computer science at ISSAT (Institut Supérieur des Sciences Appliquées et de Technologie ) Gafsa, Tunisia.

Reseach Activity:


My current research interests are in the field of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). They are focused on the characterization, quality estimation, and modeling of low-power links; mobility management schemas; and hierarchical routing. Particularly, I am leading RadiaLE framework for benchmarking link quality estimators (LQEs) in WSNs. RadiaLE is a test-bed that enables the performance evaluation of existing and future LQEs. It comprises the hardware components of the WSN test-bed (TelosB nodes, USB cables/hubs) and a software tool for setting up and controlling the experiments and also for analyzing the collected data, allowing for LQEs evaluation (more details are given here).
