From June 2011 I work as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Center for Sensor Web Technologies - CLARITY, which is a division of the University College Dublin, Ireland. I work on the RUBICON project, which is an EU-FP7 project coordinated by Prof. Gregory O'Hare and Dr. Mauro Dragone.

• From November 2009 to April 2011, I worked as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Laboratory of Fundamental Computer Science Research (LIFL) and a member of the SMAC Group (Multi-Agent Systems & Behaviours) of the Lille University of Science and Technology, France.

• I received my Ph.D. from the Department of Information Engineering and Computer Science (DISI) at the University of Trento, Trento, Italy. The title of my PhD thesis is "A Nomadicity-driven Negotiation Protocol, Tactics and Strategies for Interacting Software Agents", which was advised by Prof. Paolo Giorgini and defended in the attendance of Prof. Marie-Pierre Gleizes, Prof. Andrea Omicini, and Prof. Aldo Franco Dragoni.

• In November 2004 I received my Master's degree in Management in the Network Economy from the Universita Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Milan, Italy.

• In August 2002, I completed my five-year B.Sc. in Computer Science from the Modern Academy for Computer Science, Cairo, Egypt.

• During my undergraduate studies, I worked as a Senior Account Manager at LINKdotNET that is a multinational subsidiary of Orascom Telecom. In 2004, I worked as a Business Developer at the R&D labs of SIEMENS Mobile Communications, Milan, Italy. From 2005 to 2008, I worked as an ICT Scientific Researcher at ARS LOGICA that is a private sector ICT research laboratory in Trento, Italy.

I was born on Friday, the 5th of September 1980 in MASR; the land of the River Nile, Pharaohs, St. Catherine's Monastery, and Bibliotheca Alexandrina.
