I am a Ph.D. student at Boston University’s Department of Computer Science. I am currently advised by Prof. Abraham Matta. I completed my B. Eng. in Computer Science, from the German University in Cairo (GUC).

My current research interests are in the area of distributed systems with a primary focus on serverless computing in a multi-cloud setting with resource contention. A smart scheduler, along with associated algorithm, are in the process of design and implementation for this specific environment. Distributed system throughput will be ideally optimized and enhanced via selective scheduler allocations and pairings between serverless functions and the queue.

FABRIC Testbed Student Researcher
FABRIC Testbed provides cloud computing infrastructure, as well as software for interacting with the infrastructure. I work on designing tutorials for the FABRIC software, as well as experiments. This can help users run their own experiments, as well as explore the capabilities of the infrastructure. I also help with testing the FABRIC software, and I contribute to the software.
