I am a Professor of Physics at the Faculty of Science, Ain Shams University, specializing in High Energy Physics and Cosmology. My research contributions in these fields can be found on https://inspirehep.net/authors/1017822?ui-citation-summary=true

I earned my PhD in the United States, where I conducted research for several years before returning to Egypt in 2009.

I am passionate about science communication—writing on diverse topics to make fundamental and applied physics accessible to the public. I also explore topics on the philosophy and history of science, communicating the foundational ideas of science and its philosophical bases to broader audiences.
