To implement what I have learned to practical life. To maintain and design medical equipments, and to use my background in both Information Technology and Biomedical Engineering to improve quality, maintain efficiency and develop better biomedical equipments assisting in identification of diseases and faster patient recovery.
Education Background
M.Sc. in Information Technology from University of Canberra (Australia, 2003).
B.Sc. in Systems and Biomedical Engineering from Cairo University (Egypt, 2001).
PhD candidate at the University of Sussex (2006 - currently)
Currently I am a PhD student in the BioInformatics & Machine Learning lab at the University of Sussex working in the field of medical image analysis and processing. The research is concerned with tumor grading and discrimination based on class assignment and quantitative texture analysis techniques. In an endeavor of providing a better understanding of tumor behavior, the objective is to develop a novel noninvasive technique which can assist in identifying and classifying tumors with a high accuracy to overcome possible variability of physicians' reported diagnosis.
Lecturer at the University of Jordan (2004 - 2005)
Lecturer at King Abdullah II School for Information Technology at the University of Jordan, where I conduct lectures on various IT subjects (Digital Image Processing Applications, Information Resource Management, Web Publishing, Computer Ethics, IT fundamentals).
Biomedical Equipment Consultant at Al-Istishari Hospital (2004)
Consultant for the biomedical department in Al-Istishari Hospital.
Research work (2003)
Making use of IT in hospitals to support the process of acquiring patient's medical data wirelessly on a real time bases, by using radio frequency identification (RFID) technology in conjunction with wireless area networks (WANs). The project name was: Health Care Patient Management: a wireless framework.
Graduation Project (2000-2001)
My graduation project gave me a good experience of how ultrasound mechanical locators works, and how to acquire body organ images and represent them in a 2-D and 3-D projections without any distortions which usually occurs if a manual scanning procedure was used. My graduation project was on: The Design of 3D Ultrasound Image Acquisition and Reconstruction System based on mechanical locators.
Training in a medical center (1998)
