Hany Assasa, Ph.D. has a diverse work experience in the field of wireless networks and telecommunications. Hany started their career in 2010 with an internship at MTN SYRIA where they gained knowledge of GSM network components and radio equipment. Hany then went on to work as a Core Network Packet Switch Engineer at Huawei, where they were responsible for network rollout and maintenance. In 2014, Hany worked as an Internship Researcher at Ericsson, where they built session mobility aware HTTP proxy and enabled mobility of UEs in a local breakout use case using SDN.
Hany pursued their Ph.D. in millimeter-wave wireless networks at IMDEA Networks Institute. Hany conducted research on IEEE 802.11ad MAC/PHY layer simulations, mmWave phased antenna array modeling, and mmWave-based location systems. Hany also worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher at IMDEA Networks Institute, focusing on IEEE 802. 11ay SU/MU-MIMO MAC/PHY simulations and managed deployment of high-density IEEE 802.11ad/ay based networks.
Hany also gained industry experience during their internships at NEC Laboratories Europe GmbH and imec. At NEC Laboratories, they worked on multi-RAT mmWave access in the 5G group and deployed an experimental testbed on mmWave. At imec, they designed algorithms and implemented 60 GHz MU-MIMO demonstrators.
Most recently, Hany joined Pharrowtech as a System Engineer in 2020.
