*** was selected by IEEE among " Best Readings in Polar Coding", Low-complexity decoding section

I received my B.Sc. from the Communications department in the German Universtity in Cairo (GUC) in Egypt in 2013 and my M.Sc. degree in electrical engineering and information technology from the University of Stuttgart, Stuttgart, Germany in 2016, where I am currently working toward the Ph.D. degree.

During my Master studies, I was a Research Assistant with multiple institutes of the University of Stuttgart including fields of radio frequency technology, signal processing and telecommunications. Since 2016, I have been a member of research staff with the Institute of Telecommunications, University of Stuttgart.

My main research topics are channel coding, particularly polar code construction and decoding. 
I am also currently working on the design of short Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) codes for high speed applications. Further research interests include machine learning for communications, particularly for designing error correction codes and utilization of the state-of-the-art coding schemes in the field of Multiple Access Channel (MAC).

Keywords:

• Error-correcting codes.
• Polar codes.
• Iterative decoding.
• EXIT charts.
• Machine learning for error-correcting codes design
• Linear modern error-correcting codes design using optimization tools.
