About Me

Hi! Thanks for stopping by my always €–approximate webpage. As we all know, completing a webpage is an NP-Complete problem, hence, I don’t aspire to do that in a reasonable time unless P=NP;  Q.E.D.  (if you buy this argument, you need to look here)

I am a Ph.D. student in the School of Computer Science, Carnegie Mellon University.  I work with Prof. Eric Xing. My random walk in the world is [Cairo → Magdeburg → Cairo → Urbana-Champaign → Pittsburgh] I am sure that this is not Markovian! I got my BSc. And MSc. in Computer Engineering from Cairo University. I then moved in Spring 2003 to start my PhD in the Department of Computer Science at the University of  Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I spent two years at UIUC and then decided to transfer to CMU on Fall 2005. I wish that CMU would be an absorbing state!
