Haitham Hassanieh

I am a third year graduate student in the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, at MIT .

I am a member of NETMIT: The Network Group at MIT.

I did my undergrad at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering in American University of Beirut (AUB).

Research

I work with Prof. Dina Katabi on designing and building robust networking architectures. I do research in wireless networking protocols, wireless implantable medical devices, body area networks, low power computational RFIDs, MIMO systems, and compressive sensing.
