Haïfa Farès received the bachelor and the M.Sc. degrees in Telecommunication Engineering from the Higher School of Communications of Tunis (Sup'Com), in 2007 and 2008, respectively.
She was awarded the best student engineering project in 2007 from the Higher School of Communications of Tunis.
From October 2008, she was working in the electronics department of Telecom Bretagne with Alexandre Graell i Amat and Charlotte Langlais, in order to otain her Ph.D. degree on December 7th, 2011. She was directed by research director Marion Berbineau from LEOST-IFSTTAR. Her research interests are in the area of Communication Theory, include Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) protocols for cooperative systems, iterative decoding algorithms and MIMO systems.
From January 2012 to August 2013, she was working as a postdoc in the electronics department of Telecom Bretagne. She was working on several topics: "Iterative joint source-relay decoding", "decoding schemes of correlated sources in a relay network", and "Software simulation chain for the physical layer of the uplink LTE".
During her experience of ATER with ENSSAT Lannion, she worked on the timely topic of "Green communications for sensor networks".
From September 2016 to June 2017, she worked as a post-doc with CentraleSupélec for a joint project with CEA investigating a new waveform of the family of continuous phase modulations, which has the unique property of generating single side band signals. This waveform is directly inspired from quantum physics. Now, she is currently an associate professor with SIGNAL team of CentraleSupélec of Rennes.
