About Me

I am a senior research scientist at the Networking and Distributed Systems Lab, Hewlett Packard Labs. Previously, I was a postdoctoral associate at Carnegie Mellon University collaborating with Professors Swarun Kumar and Peter Steenkiste. I earned my PhD in Computer Science at Rutgers University under Professor Marco Gruteser. I am a recipient of the HPE Labs Star Award. My work has been recognized with several awards including the 2024 ACM CoNEXT Best Paper Runner-up, the 2025 ACM MobiSys Best Demo Award, and the 2016 ACM VLCS Best Paper Award. I hold a Master's degree in Wireless Communications from Nile University and a Bachelor of Science in Computer and Systems Engineering from Alexandria University.


I am a cyber-physical systems and networking researcher who builds physically intelligent and connected machines. My research bridges the gap between wireless networking, sensing and AI.
