Introduction

Alaaeddine Rjeb received his B.Sc. degree in physics, and his M.sc. Degree in Micro and Nano electronics from the Faculty of Sciences of Monastir, Tunisia, in 2014 and 2016, respectively. In January 2021, he earned his Ph.D. in Electronics and Microelectronics engineering. His main Ph.D. topic was a few mode-optical fiber designs focusing on next-generation orbital angular momentum specialty fiber. He is a postdoctoral fellow at the Photonics Laboratory in the Division of Computer, Electrical, and Mathematical Sciences & Engineering (CEMSE) at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST). His research and interests include optical fiber communication and sensing, next-generation networks (NGN), Next generation optical communication physical layer' devices, and specialty devices for high dimensional Quantum Key Distribution (HD-QKD).
