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.

The 2022 Junior Faculty Development Program (JFDP), Fulbright
The 2022 Fulbright Junior Faculty Development Program bring young faculty members from Egypt to US institutions for faculty development, mentoring, and cultural exchange activities in Renewable Energy and Engineering and Information Technology from the end of June till mid-September 2022. During this 10-week program, faculty members are introduced to new teaching and research methods, observe classes, attend seminars, and develop linkages with American faculty through weekly mentoring sessions. In addition, ongoing community engagement with university-identified host families, volunteers, or the broader local community would facilitate the scholars’ participation in outreach activities, including visits to historical sites and cultural events.
