WORK EXPERIENCE

I – Metrology Engineer at Mitutoyo America Corp., Aurora, IL. (March 2015 – Current)

Developing measuring methods for commercial products and standards using Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs) and vision systems.

II - Mechanical Design Engineer at KLA-Tencor, Milpitas, CA. (March 2013- March 2015)

Working in the Surfscan division as a mechanical design engineer.

I designed and assembled a key subsystem in the new generation of a wafer inspection machine. My work includes an extensive use of the Solidworks® and ProE®.

The design includes dynamic and static analysis, Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) analysis, and Finite Element Analysis (FEA). Also I shared in the FMEA and reliability studies.

I work as a team member following KLA-Tencor Product Life Cycle standards. III- Teaching and Research Assistant, Department of Mechanical Engineering and Engineering Science, UNCC, Charlotte, NC, USA (Sept. 2007 – Jan 2013)

I worked on three projects under the supervision of Prof. Robert J. Hocken, The first project was about the determination of the Coefficient of Thermal Expansion of Ball Bars that can be used in the CMM calibration. The second project was about image stitching of WLI images taken on a large diameter semi-sphere. The third project (my PhD dissertation topic) was about building a maskless plasmonic nanolithography machine.

Also, I worked for an academic year with Prof. Jay Raja, during which I made a preliminary data base that can be used to facilitate surface texture assessment of engineering surfaces.

IV-Summer internship in Ford Motor Company – Livonia- Michigan (May – August 2008)

I was working on three different metrological projects related to surface roughness and flatness measurement of motor parts. Also, I was validating a software used for roughness measurement.

V-Teaching Assistant, Faculty of Engineering, Alexandria University, Alexandria, Egypt

(Sept. 2000 – Aug. 2007)

I have taught the following courses:

Computer Aided Inspection (CAI)

CAD\CAM.

Dimensional Metrology.

Geometrical Metrology.

Three Dimensional Metrology.

Laser Based Measuring Systems.

Co-ordinate Measuring Metrology

(CMM).

Statistical Process Control (SPC).

Statistical Quality Control (SQC).

Quality Assurance (QA).

Quality Engineering (QE).

Total Quality Management (TQM).

Design of Mechanical Elements.

Machining Processes.

Metal Forming Processes.

Failure Analysis.

Statistical Analysis and Design of

Experiments.

Operations Research.

Engineering Economy.

Production and Operations

Management.

I participated in supervising graduation projects concerning dimensional and geometrical metrology, quality improvement, and total quality management. My role was to help students in carrying out the experiments of the practical part of their projects. I have taught courses to engineers and technicians in the industrial field under the supervision of American University in Cairo (AUC) and Arab Academy for Science and Technology and Maritime Transport (AAST) These courses include "Fits and Tolerances" for technicians in Alexandria Iron and Steel Company, "Statistics" for engineers in Alexandria Iron and Steel Company, “Quality Engineering" for engineers in Petroleum Maritime Service Co.(PMS),"ISO 9000-2000 Series" for managers in the Egyptian Imports and Exports Monitoring Organization.

EDUCATION

PhD, Mechanical Engineering

University of North Carolina at Charlotte (UNCC), Charlotte, NC, USA (May 2013) M.Sc., Mechanical Engineering

Alexandria University, Alexandria, Egypt (Feb. 2007) B.Sc., Mechanical Engineering

Alexandria University, Alexandria, Egypt (June 2000) PhD dissertation topic: Plasmonic Nanolithography Machine. My PhD research project was about building a state of the art Plasmonic Nano-Lithography Machine (PLM). Working under the supervision of Prof. Robert J. Hocken, and working as a team member, I was responsible for the precision design and analysis of the machine parts. Also, I was involved in the machining, assembly and system integration phases. The project was funded by NSF and was a result of the cooperation between the Center for Precision Metrology (CPM) at UNC Charlotte and the Center for Scalable and Integrated NanoManufacturing (SINAM).

M.Sc. thesis topic: Surface Texture Identification Using Optical Methods. I have developed a binary Morphological Image Processing (MIP) approach to assess the roughness of engineering surfaces. This approach was analyzed mathematically and examined experimentally on real (shaped) specimens and ideal roughness forms (sinusoidal, circular, inverted circular, and triangular) and the results were found to be valuable. I had determined mathematical models to predict some of the surface roughness assessment parameters based on certain morphological statistics of the image and the incidence angle of light. Also, I used the results obtained experimentally to reconstruct a part of the roughness profile of the inspected surfaces. Also, my M.Sc. preparatory studies included Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) but did not contribute to the final thesis.
