About me
I graduated in 2012 from Cairo University, in Aeronautical and Aerospace Engineering. Following my PhD research on modeling and simulation for kite power systems at Kyushu University, then worked as a postdoctoral fellow at Kyushu University for 2 years. My research was on Airborne Wind Energy with a particular focus on design and manufacture of a small-scale kite power system (10 kW). In 2020, I worked as an aircraft development engineer in PD Aerospace Company in Japan for more than 8 months. Currently, I am working as a postdoctoral fellow at University of Alberta.
