Profile
I'm an Engineer with an Aerospace Engineering Bachelor's Degree and working towards my Master's Degree with projects background in UAVs. I have had the opportunity to have three internships at NASA at two different centers as an Aerospace Engineer Intern. Used to work as a Process Technician for Danfoss Power Solutions. I aim to make a difference through my creative solution and innovative approaches.
I graduated from Iowa state University in May 2018 with a bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Engineering. I‘ve had many academic experience and leadership roles through school projects and organizations. I’ve been the Propulsion Team Lead at AirOne which is a part of an aerospace organization called Make:2:Innovate. I have had experience leading teams in the creative process, work in a cross-functional team and create/ manage milestones to fulfill project requirements as well as improving them. I also was a Research and Testing team member in ISUAV at M2i. There I have had many research experiences, like identifying the best part in the market for the project and contact manufacturers for price negotiations. I also was the President of the Egyptian Student Association which I organized many diverse fun full and academic events. I used to work as a Process Technician at Danfoss Power Solutions where I support, troubleshoot and maintain electrical & mechanical equipment used in the process to build, paint and pack hydrostatic pumps, motors and components. Had three internships at NASA. Two of them I worked as an Aerospace Engineer intern at the Aerodynamics and Propulsion Branch in the Revolutionary Vertical Lift Technology Project. The last internship was an Aerospace Engineer internship at the Propulsion System Analysis Branch in the Revolutionary Vertical Lift Technology Project. Now I'm working towards my Master's Degree in Aerospace engineering.
