SUMMERY & OBJECTIVE
I am from Egypt. I obtained a B.Sc. degree in electrical engineering (Communications and Electronics) from Alexandria University in 1995, and a M. Sc. degree in electronics and communications engineering from Mansoura University in 1999. I am working in ECMS (MobiNil) as a Project Manager since March 2000. Concurrently, working towards Ph.D. degree in the filed of advanced multi-user interference cancellation receivers for 3G cellular DS/CDMA systems. I would like to build my career in a challenging working environment and supports people with innovative ideas. I am looking for an organization, which is able to exploit my technological expertise. I am ready to relocate and travel abroad.
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
