Title: Drone-Based Real-Time Blade Inspection in Energy Systems.
DORBINE (Drone-Based Real-Time Blade Inspection in Energy Systems) is a research project aimed at revolutionizing wind turbine maintenance through AI-powered multimedia drones. The project leverages high-resolution imaging, LiDAR, and GNSS data collected by autonomous drone swarms to perform in-operation inspection of turbine blades — detecting cracks, measuring blade deflection, and supporting predictive maintenance. By eliminating the need for turbine shutdowns and reducing on-site technician visits, DORBINE contributes to both operational efficiency and sustainability in renewable energy infrastructure.
Title: Adaptive Streaming over Emerging Network Architectures.
ATHENA (Adaptive Streaming over Emerging Network Architectures) is a Christian Doppler Laboratory project that focuses on optimizing end-to-end video streaming over modern, heterogeneous network environments. It bridges the gap between user Quality of Experience (QoE) and emerging networking paradigms, such as HTTP/3, QUIC, and edge-based delivery. In ATHENA, I work on developing intelligent, network-aware streaming systems that adapt in real-time to varying network and device conditions. Our research includes energy-efficient streaming, low-latency adaptive bitrate algorithms, and reinforcement learning-based QoE optimization.

Title: Developing an Integrated Online IKKCO Product Tracking for Streamlined Supply Chain Operations (Fiama).
Faima focused on the design and development of a low-cost, Android-compatible IoT dongle for real-time vehicle monitoring and remote control. The dongle connects to the vehicle's onboard diagnostics (OBD-II) port and communicates wirelessly with a dedicated mobile application. Through this system, users can track key vehicle parameters (e.g., engine status, fuel level, speed, and GPS location), receive fault alerts, and perform basic remote actions such as door locking or engine shutdown. The project involved embedded system design, Bluetooth communication protocols, mobile app development, and cloud-based data integration. It aimed to enhance driver safety, reduce maintenance costs, and provide a foundation for smart mobility applications.
