I have attended High School at Elmoshir Ahmed Esmail Secondary School in Egypt. After passing the nation-wide secondary school exams in Math section with a total grade percentage of 98.2% ranking among the top 200 of 400,000+ students set for the exam, I spent the next four years at the Faculty of Computer Science and Information, Assiut University. I was studying mostly computer science and mathematics after which I obtained the Bachelor degree in Computer Science with grade of Distinction with Honor and ranking 2nd among the department.
In my final year, due to my passion toward Computer Networks, I came up with a great networking project that would facilitate the communication between mobile users allowing them to perform video calls over bluetooth and internet when this service was not provide by telecommunication companies back then. My group has completed and delievered the project in record time and we were awarded support from the ministry of communication in Egypt.
Immediately, after the graduation in Aug, 2007, I was hired by the Faculty of Computers and Information, Assiut University in the position of Teaching and Research Assistant. There are four primary task for this position:
In Jun, 2012, I have earned my masters degree under the supervision of Prof. Hosny M. Ibrahim, Prof. Marghny H. Mohammed and Dr. Abdel-Rahman Hedar with thesis titled Routing Optimization of Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks Based on Ant Colony Optimization. Afterwhich, I was promoted to the position of Assistant Lecturer at the Faculty of Computers and Information, Assiut University. Immediatly, just before defensing my M. Phil thesis in Jun, 2012, I got a number of scholarship in a number of prestigous universities in USA, Canada, Australia and Hong Kong. However, I made my mind on working with my current amazing supervisor, Prof. Brahim Bensaou.
In fall, 2012 I began my Ph.D application in HKUST with Prof. Brahim Bensaou and thankfully I was awarded the generous and extremely competitive Hong Kong PhD Fellowship Scheme (HKPFS) in Mar, 2013. Then, I joined the Computer Science and Engineering at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology as a PhD student and researcher in Aug, 2013. I have moved my research interests toward the hot topic of Cloud and Data Center Networks and the related Congestion Control and Traffic Engineering research problems.
