What I'm looking for

I seek research-driven roles applying nanophysics and materials expertise to develop practical, market-ready solutions within collaborative, interdisciplinary teams.

I am a physicist with a Master’s degree in physics (nanophysics specialization) and six years of research experience across nanotechnology, neural engineering, and applied materials. I have led product design and testing efforts as a Product Owner at the Center of Nanoelectronic AUC and developed flexible thin-film CIGS solar cells in collaboration with senior engineers and professors.

I bring practical experience in AI data labeling, intellectual property research, and academic research assistance for multidisciplinary teams at Alexandria University and AUC. I combine scientific data analysis, problem solving, and collaborative project execution to translate research into tested, market-ready solutions.
