Summer 2023: I am currently working as a research intern at Tiktok Inc. in San Jose.

I am currently a second year Ph.D. student in Pitt EducaTional And Language technology lab (PETAL), The University of Pittsburgh, advised by Prof. Diane J. Litman.

My research is focused on Natural Language Processing with focus on text summarization.

From 2020 to 2021 I worked as an applied Datascientist in the CSALT team (Cairo Speech and Language Technology) at Microsoft ATLC in developing Arabic speech recognition models.

From 2018 to 2020 I worked as a Datascientist II at Raisa Energy LLC. working on various datascience tasks

I received my Bachelors (Bsc) in 2014 from Cairo University in Communications and Computer Engineering, and my Master of science (Msc) in 2017 in Electronics and Computer Communications from the same University.

Selected Research Projects

CASUM

CASUM aims at summarizing case decisions in terms of legal argument triples: the major issues a court addressed in the case, the court's conclusion with respect to each issue, and the court's reasons for reaching the conclusion. Given the legal case, we extract the legal triplets which aid the abstractive summarization process to include the legal arguments described in the document.

Course Mirror

CourseMIRROR facilitates learning at scale by enabling students to reflect in-situ via mobile devices. CourseMIRROR also helps instructors to capture the gist of reflections effectively via natural language processing.
