In 2014 Nader received his first M.Sc. in Space Technology from Luleå University of Technology, Sweden and later received a M.Sc. in Space Techniques and Instrumentation from the University of Paul Sabatier, Toulouse France. During his graduate studies, Nader worked on various international projects at some of the world’s leading research institutes such as Airbus Defence and Space in France; the Swedish Institute of Space Physics (IRF) in Kiruna; the Research Institute of Astrophysics and Planetary Science (IRAP) in France, and the Deutsches Zentrum für Luft - und Raumfahrt (DLR) in Germany. Nader joined SnT as a PhD candidate in October 2017 for the ILNAS-SnT project on technical standardisation and digital trust in smart ICT with core focus on IoT.

His current research interests include algorithms for localisation and tracking, collision avoidance, path planning optimisation and distributed decision making in multi-agent systems (UAV swarms). Nader is also heavily involved in the tech-start-up business and particularly in their early formation and validation stages.
