About Me
I am a postdoctoral researcher at Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Southern California, working with Prof. Salman Avestimehr. I currently work on distributed computing and secure machine learning. My research interests include distributed systems, information theory, machine learning and wireless communications.
Education
I received the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from Penn State University, University Park, PA, USA, in 2020. Before that, I received the M.Sc. degree in wireless communications from Wireless Intelligent Networks Center (WINC), Nile University, Giza, Egypt, in 2014 and the B.Sc. degree in electrical engineering from Alexandria University, Alexandria, Egypt, in 2011. In my PhD, I studied the fundamental limits and developed code constructions based on erasure coding for strongly consistent key-value stores. In addition, I studied the latency-consistency trade-off of eventually consistent key-value stores.
