About me
I am a research scientist at the Networking and Distributed Systems Lab, Hewlett Packard Labs. Prior to HPE, I was a postdoctoral associate at Carnegie Mellon University collaborating with Professors Swarun Kumar and Peter Steenkiste. I earned my PhD in Computer Science from Rutgers University under the guidance of Professor Marco Gruteser. During my doctoral studies, I was honored with the Doctoral Dissertation Fellowship from the CS Department at Rutgers University, and received the Best Paper Award at ACM VLCS 2016. 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 build next-generation wireless networking protocols and sensing systems. My research demonstrates that codesigning wireless networking and sensing systems can facilitate energy efficient, interference-free, cost effective, and accurate wireless systems. Broadly, I am interested in mobile computing, wireless and capacitive sensing, health sensing, positioning systems, networking, systems and applied machine learning. My recent projects include:
- 5G Dynamic Time Division Duplex [CoNEXT'24]
- Sonic Dental Sensing [Ubicomp'24 Media Coverage]
- RF Long Range Energy Harvesing [MobiHoc'24]
- Battery-free Spectrum Sensing [MobiCom'23]
- WiFi Fine Time Measurements [MobiCom'18] [MobiSys'20]
- Associating Moving Subjects across Vision and Wireless Sensors [IPSN'22]
- Body-guided Communications [MobiCom'18]
- Visible Light based Activity Sensing using Ceiling Photodiodes [INFOCOM'18][VLCS'16 Best Paper Award]
