Doctor of philosophy degree in Mechanical Engineering from Auckland University of Technology (AUT).
Master of Science Degree in Engineering Mechanics for the thesis titled "Numerical Treatment of Fluid Flow through Square and Triangular Ducts". The outcomes of this research project were impressive and were used in publishing two journal papers in an international journal.
I was graduated in 2002 from the department of Aerospace Engineering at Cairo University, ranked 5th. My overall grade was 80%, however I got 100% for the graduation project which involves applying all the scientific and engineering background learned during the tenure of the study. This project was supervised by Professor Mohamed Nader Abul Fotouh, NASA researcher.
