Selected Research Projects

 

Synthesis of Parallel Algorithms and their Mapping onto Reconfigurable Hardware
Since Sep 2001 With

Dr. Ali Abdallah (London South Bank University)

Dr. John Hawkins (London South Bank University)

 

This research project comprises higher-level synthesis of massively parallel algorithms and their mapping onto hardware circuits. This project handles case-studies selected from cryptography. Formalisms and techniques used include the functional notation,  function decomposition strategies, data refinement techniques, and communicating sequential processes (CSP) notation. Software packages used include Haskell Hugs compiler and Handel-C hardware compilation tool. 

 

Performance Evaluation of Reconfigurable Computing Systems
April 2000 – August 2004, With

Prof. Hassan Diab (American University of Beirut)

Prof. Fadi Kurdahi (University of California  Irvine)

Prof. Albert Zomaya (University of Sydney)

Mrs. Nathalie Awad (American University of Beirut)

Mr. Imad Abdennour (American University of Beirut)

 

This project includes studies selected from computer graphics, signal processing, digital coding, etc. Targeted hardware systems include the MorphoSys reconfigurable system from the University of California at Irvine, and various FPGA systems. Software packages used include the mULATE emulator for the MorphoSys.

 

An Embedded Nine-Port Microwave Vector Network Analyzer

Since June 2010, With

Prof. Soubhi Abou Chahine (Beirut Arab University)

 

Currently manufacturers are looking to build better products for communications applications such as mobile phones, pagers, cordless equipment, and radars.  All of these products require radio and microwave frequency components for their circuitries.  Design and fine testing of these components require a Microwave Vector Network Analyzer (MVNA). Construction of an MVNA benefits from the recent advancement in creating network analyzer using six or five-port reflectometers. The construction of an MVNA can also benefit from the emergence of powerful reconfigurable computing systems, such as field programmable gate arrays (FPGA), to implement its computational parts responsible for analyzing the measured parameters. In the research in hand, we study the feasibility of building a network analyzer that is based on five-port technology that includes a standalone system-on-chip (SoC), and to be assembled in the local market.

 

Reconfigurable Hardware for Cryptography

Since September 2006, With

Prof. Hassan Diab (American University of Beirut)

Mrs. May Itani (American University of Beirut)

 

This project includes studies selected from cryptography. Completed studies include the Serpent, RC6, MARS, etc. Targeted hardware systems include the MorphoSys reconfigurable system from the University of California at Irvine, and various FPGA systems. Software packages used include the mULATE emulator for the MorphoSys.

 

The Aram Locator GPS–based Vehicle Tracking System               

June 2006 – December 2010, With

Mr. Adnan Yaqzan (M.Sc. CCE Thesis Supervisor, Hariri Canadian University)
 

One recently implemented Vehicle Tracking System is the Aram Locator. The system has a great storage capacity, and could perform a significant recording with a considerable sampling rate. In this project, we study various enhancements on the original design. The study includes programmable realization of some critical components reaching a better design with a cohesive architecture that would save processing time, speeds up system interactions, and reduces the manufacturing cost.

 

Parallelizing Arabic Morphological Analysis towards Faster Natural Language Processing and Data Mining Systems

Since Sep 2005 – June 2008, With

Dr. Rached Zantout (Hariri Canadian University)

Dr. Lama Hamandi (American University of Beirut)

Dr. Ahmad Ghuessoum (University of Sharjah)

 

Natural Language Processing (NLP) has gained a lot of importance nowadays with many applications requiring real-time performance. In order to achieve the real-time requirements, the components of an NLP system should be made more efficient. Investigating the enhancement of NLP systems efficiency includes the study of creating efficient algorithms, parallelizing the computations, and employing modern hardware acceleration systems. Yet, we have proposed a novel natural language processing (NLP) algorithm for parallel moulds matching for Arabic language - early results found were promising. The current work is being extended for the other important parts of an NLP system like the parser, the morphological generator and the sentence generator taking into consideration the specifics of each area in order to have a complete parallel NLP package.

 

High-Speed Hardware Systems for Computationally Intensive Applications

Since Sep 2004, With

Dr. Ramzi Haraty (Lebanese American University)

Mrs. Safaa Kasbah (M.Sc. CS Thesis Co-supervisor, Lebanese American University)

Miss Amina Maarouf (Lebanese American University)

Mr. Omerfraz Khan (B.Sc. CCE Bachelor Project Supervisor, Dhofar University)

Mr. Wael Ghazawi (B.Sc. CCE Bachelor Project Supervisor, Hariri Canadian University)

 

The aim of this research is to develop high-speed cores for some specific computationally intensive applications. Some of the already developed chips include very high-speed version of tiny ciphers (TEA, XTEA, etc.).  Complex mathematical solvers (Multigrid, Jacobi, SOR, etc.) were also studied offering fast and highly-accurate solutions. Another route was started by addressing parallel layout and placement design strategies. In this project, we did use Handel-C automated compilations for the mathematical solvers, Verilog, and VHDL to implement our other optimized low-level designs. We did also introduce the use of Altera's Quartus II hardware design package for some of our cores.

 

Performance Testing of Refrigerators using Fuzzy Inference Methodology Under LABView
Aug 1999 - June 2000, With

Prof. Hassan Diab (American University of Beirut)

Prof. Jean Saade (American University of Beirut)
 

This project employed fuzzy inference methodology in order to pave the way for the emergence of an intelligent, automated and efficient procedure for the refrigerant charging of refrigerators. Interfacing and control are done using National Instruments hardware systems. The graphical  language G under LABView is used for programming. This project was the first prize winner in the Fourth Exhibition on Industrial Research Achievements in Lebanon 2000. The theory behind this project was published in the 7th IEEE International Conference on Electronics, Circuits and Systems Beirut, Lebanon 2000.

 

Building Management Systems
Since March 1998

Building management systems (BMS) is a rich and inspiring area for computer engineers. Projects implemented have included a variety of BMS hardware interfacing components and software packages. Currently, the project is being further developed with focus on the three E's concept, namely, ecology, environment, and energy. Since 1998, more than six different prototypes have been exhibited in national and international exhibitions by my undergraduate students.
