I received my Doctorate in Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering from the University of Alabama in Huntsville, USA with a research focus on the hypervelocity impact of space debris particles on spacecraft structures. This was followed by Post-Doctoral Fellow at the University of Alberta, Canada. Since then, I have worked in the field of aerospace engineering for more than 20 years and as a director of Space Technology Center, Egypt for 4 years. Further, I have an extensive experience in space technology as a deputy manager of TOT Satellite Project for more than 4 years in cooperation with one of the most advanced companies in space technology development. In the realm of education, I have an extensive experience in teaching numerous sub-disciplines in the field of mechanical and aerospace engineering for over a decade. In the government settings, I have over a decade of experience in applied research at R&D Aviation Center in Egypt.
