RESEARCH INTERESTS

  • Real‑time Systems & AI Integration: formal timing, deadline‑aware control for AI in telephony; predictable execution of variable‑latency ML pipelines.
  • Communication‑Aware Computing: task‑graph modelling, P95/P99 guarantees, separating compute vs communication delays for optimisation.
  • Voice Tech & Multilingual Processing: purpose‑trained ASR (Darija), MRCP extensions, reliable barge‑in in conversational AI.
