Dr. Hani Salah
Since September 2016 I work as lecturer and researcher at Palestine Polytechnic University (Hebron, Palestine).
Previously, I worked as R&D employee at the TU Darmstadt (Darmstadt, Germany) and flexOptix GmbH (Dietzenbach, Germany) for 17 months (till August 2016). Before that, I worked as research assistant at TU Darmstadt for four years, and as lecturer and technical assistant at Palestine Polytechnic University for about 5.5 years in total.
I obtained a PhD degree in computer science from TU Darmstadt in 2015, specialized in measurements, performance, and security of large-scale distributed systems, under supervision of Prof. Dr. Thorsten Strufe. Before that, I obtained a Master of Science degree in Internetworking from the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Sweden and a Bachelor degree in Computer Systems Engineering from Palestine Polytechnic University.
I acted as reviewer / TPC member for: Infocom 2019, CANDAR 2018, IEEE MELECON 2018, IEEE ICCCN 2018, SIOT 2017, IEEE IC2E 2017, CCC 2016, ACNS 2016, LCN 2015, CNS 2014, COMCOM 2014, WWW 2013, HotPost 2013, WoWMoM 2013, Advances in Computer Communications and Networks, IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing, IEEE Communications Letters.
My current research interests lie in the areas of large scale (dynamic) distributed systems and future Internet architectures with emphasis on their performance, security, and monitoring (with privacy preservation).
