After getting a high score in a high school (99.7%).  I eligible to study at engineering faculty in Mansoura University- EGYPT (1997). In 2002 I have obtained my BSC from Mansoura University faculty of Engineering - Computer Engineering and Control Systems department, with grade Very Good (Upper second) and was ranked the Tenth out of 150. Since graduation, I have obtained two master degrees (MSC).

The first was from Mansoura University in 2009 and the thesis was titled "Supervisory control and data acquisition systems based on mobile techniques".

The second master was from the Arab Academy for Engineering and Technology in 2009 also. And the thesis was in "Personal Identification using ears based on statistical Features".

I have gained excellent knowledge from the second master since I came across many research areas such as machine learning, medical Imaging, biometrics and image processing.
