Engineering sciences
My research involves interdisciplinary concepts, including Smart agriculture, fractional-order systems, embedded systems, hardware accelerators, data encryption, security, and energy harvesting, which contribute to Egypt's sustainable development goals (SDGs). I promote diversity, inclusion in engineering and encourage scholars, particularly women, to pursue research careers.
