Biography

I am an Associate Professor at Port Said University, with a passion for innovation and sustainable design, I earned my Ph.D. in architectural Engineering in 2018, focusing on kinetic façades as a tool for enhancing daylighting in office spaces. My research interests encompass sustainable architecture, Artificial Intelligence, architectural education, parametric design, and smart city technologies. Recently, I am expanding my studies to cover the potentials of using AI in architectural design. I actively contribute to community development initiatives, advocating for inclusive and environmentally conscious architectural practices. As an educator, I seek to inspire the next generation of architects, emphasizing critical thinking and real-world problem-solving skills.
