About Me

I am a Robotics Researcher at DFKI (German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence), where I work on Explainable AI applied to marine and underwater robotic systems. My research bridges computer vision, deep learning, and autonomous underwater vehicles to make robotic decision-making more transparent and interpretable.

I hold an MSc. in Marine and Maritime Intelligent Robotics from a dual-degree program at Toulon University (France) and Jaume I University (Spain), where my thesis focused on Underwater Multi-Cam Deep SLAM. Prior to that, I earned a BSc. in Electromechanical Engineering from Alexandria University, Egypt — graduating with an award-winning project that placed 1st in the SAE Aero Design 2018 competition.

Beyond research, I have contributed to underwater simulators, autonomous surface vehicles, and human-robot collaboration systems — with work published in journals including Scientific Reports and International Journal of Social Robotics.

• Marine & Underwater Robotics — AUVs, ROVs, autonomous surface vehicles
• Computer Vision & SLAM — visual odometry, underwater multi-camera deep SLAM
• Explainable AI (XAI) — interpretable models for aquatic environments
• Human-Robot Collaboration — gesture-based interaction, sign language recognition
• Simulation — Unity-based underwater and robotics simulators
