I’m Hosein Kangavar Nazari,

Here, you learn more about me, my research, and my interests.

I research Time-Sensitive Networking and the Age of Information. I aim to build robust and deterministic networks that can guarantee timely, reliable communication, especially for critical applications like industrial automation, tactile internet, and beyond.

Earlier in my academic journey, I worked on improving reliability in network coding under poor channel conditions. I’ve also been part of the IoT Lab at IASBS, contributing to several IoT projects, and worked as an IoT developer at Sarv Tech, developing HVAC systems for smart buildings.

Experience

Research Associate at TU Dresden – ComNets group

2022 – Present

I’m a Research Associate at TU Dresden in the ComNets group. I’m currently working on the Stic5G project and was previously part of the TICTEEC project under the supervision of Prof. Frank Fitzek. My work focuses on developing key TSN components within a 5G-TSN system, including the TSN controller, the TSN New York function in the 5G core, and deterministic endstations based on Linux real-time features.

Research Assistant and Software Developer at Sarve Saba Company

2020-2022

I worked as a Research Assistant and Software Developer at Sarve Saba Company, developing a large-scale, energy-efficient IoT framework for HVAC control. The system used LoRa for low-power, long-range communication and was built with Node.js. My responsibilities included actuator control, sensor data analysis, and real-time reporting under the supervision of Dr. Peyman Pahlevani.

Wireless Communication Laboratory Research Intern at IASBS 

2018 – 2021

I was a Research Intern at the Wireless Communication Laboratory. I built a server and dashboard for monitoring and controlling HVAC systems to reduce power consumption, supervised by Dr. Peyman Pahlevani.

IoT Laboratory Research Intern at IASBS 

2015 – 2018

I interned at the IoT Laboratory, working with a team of bachelor students on various IoT devices and developing software and hardware solutions. I developed backend software and served as Scrum Master for several projects, including a WebRTC-based video chat platform for online classrooms. Dr. Peyman Pahlevani and Dr. Reza Parsamehr supervised my work.

Cloud Computing Laboratory Research Intern at IASBS 

2014 – 2015

As a research intern at the Cloud Computing Laboratory, I contributed to developing and integrating a Persian language package for the OpenStack cloud platform. This included implementing and configuring localized support within the OpenStack interface on Linux systems. Mohammad Ali Farajian supervised the work.
