Starting from April 2020, I am working as the PI of the research project entitled “Security-Reliability Tradeoff in Spectrum Sharing Networks with Energy Harvesting” which is supported by the National Telecom Regulatory Authority of Egypt (NTRA). We propose a new spectrum sharing framework to enhance wireless network spectrum utilization under network latency constraints. This framework takes into account the random environment behavior and propose deploying stochastic optimization techniques to select the optimum action to be taken by the network user. Moreover, we enhance the security of the proposed framework by using the recent physical layer security techniques against eavesdropping
