Welcome to my
personal web-page. I am a second year PhD student in the
Machine Learning Department. I am currently working with
Prof. Geoffrey
Gordon. My research revolves around building probabilistic models for textual and social data.
Prior to joining CMU, I got my BSc and MSc in computer
engineering from Cairo University, Egypt. My MSc thesis
was supervised by Prof. Amir Atiya.
While working as a teaching assistant at
Cairo University, I was also an R&D engineer at IBM
Cairo Technology Development Center and then a research
assistant at Cairo
Microsoft Innovation Center (currently known as Advanced Technology Labs Cairo) with Dr Kareem Darwish.
