• I was born in Alexandria (Egypt).  I graduated from the Department of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering - Alexandria University with a B.Sc. degree (June 2000) and a M.Sc. degree in Ship Hydrodynamics (July 2004).

• In September 2005, I joined University of California Davis to get a Ph.D. degree in Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering. I worked on simulation of unsteady turbulent flows using Galerkin Finite Element and dynamic remeshing under the supervision of Roger Davis. After taking a couple of classes at the Department of Mathematics, I noticed their significant effect on my research and decided to get a Masters degree in Applied Math. In June 2007 I became a double major graduate student. I worked on solution of viscous flow problems using proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) and Galerkin projection under the supervision of Roland Freund. After three wonderful years in California, I graduated from UCDavis in June 2008.

• From September 2008 - May 2010, I worked as a post-doctoral researcher in the Department of Mechanical Engineering - Carnegie Mellon University. My main duties at CMU included conducting research in geometric modeling and mesh generation.

• I have recently accepted an offer to join Sandia National Laboratories.
