About Me
I received M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering from the University of California, Irvine in 2021 and 2025, respectively. My doctoral thesis focused on inference and control of deterministic and stochastic large-scale dynamical systems, done under the supervision of Prof. Tryphon T. Georgiou. Before that, I received a B.Sc. degree in Aerospace Engineering from Zewail University of Science and Technology, Giza, Egypt, in 2018. After my doctorate, I worked as a postdoctoral research at University of California, Irvine untill March 2026. Currently, I am a postdoctoral research associate in Prof. Abhishek Halder's group in the Aerospace Dept. at Iowa State University.
