Currently, I'm a research student pursuing my PhD under the supervision of Prof. Dr.-Ing. Carsten Dachsbacher. Previously, I obtained M.Sc. degree in 2011 and B.Sc. in 2004 from the Computer Science Department, Faculty of Computer and Information Sciences, Ain-Shams University, Egypt.

Hobbies

• Painting, and modeling on physical and digital media
I enjoy others' drawings and paintings, and I use my interest in art to complement and enrich my research experience in computer graphics. I am also developing my digital drawing skills in GIMP, Inkscape, Krita, Procreate, Clip Studio Paint, as well as exploring 3D modeling with Blender.

• Woodworking
Bringing geometry and 3D concepts into practical creations.


• Nature walks
Simply enjoying time outdoors — walking, sitting on the grass, and breathing fresh air.


• Writing and blogging
My writing projects in Arabic are still in progress and not yet published, as I am currently prioritizing my PhD thesis.
