🎓 Academic Work & Education

As of February 2024, I am an Assistant Professor in Food Hygiene and Control at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at Benha University, Egypt. Since 2023, I have been a member of the Government Excellence Award Committee, overseeing initiatives for our faculty. In 2021, I became the Coordinator of the Biotechnology Incubator, where I manage sustainable biotechnological ideas. From 2020 to 2023, I served as an Instructor on the Biosafety Committee, conducting workshops for postgraduate students. I have been a Lecturer in the Food Hygiene and Control Department since January 2019, specializing in Dairy Hygiene and Control. Prior to this, I was a Research Student at Kagoshima University, Japan, from September 2016 to September 2018 under the Chunnel Scholarship. My academic journey began with various roles at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, culminating in my Bachelor of Veterinary Sciences in June 2009.

💻 Computer and Statistical Skills

I possess strong proficiency in computer skills, including IT management, word processing, PowerPoint, Excel, and Outlook. I excel in data analysis using SPSS statistical software and have experience in image processing with Adobe Photoshop and the Protein Data Bank (PDB).

🛠️ Work Experience, Training & Workshops

My professional development includes completing the Fundamentals of One Health Practice course in August 2024. I have attended various workshops on food safety measures, ISO standards, and communication skills funded by ERAS and USAID throughout 2024. Notably, I participated in a Researcher Academy workshop on scholarly communication in September 2023 and attended training on Biosafety Committee Establishment in September 2020.

🏆 Prizes and Patent

I hold Patent No. EG/P/2024/657 for the development of a novel method for extracting calcium from eggshells, awarded by the Ministry of Scientific Research Academy of Scientific Research & Technology in May 2024. My contributions were recognized with both the first and second prizes at the Benha University competition for innovative solutions in sustainability and recycling on May 19, 2024.
