Activities
As a Master's candidate in Sustainable Management of Fisheries and Aquaculture (SMFA) through the ERASMUS+ FishAqua program at AASTMT, I bring a unique combination of scientific expertise and practical experience. My research on DNA barcoding of Sparus aurata (published in the Egyptian Journal of Aquatic Biology and Fisheries) demonstrates advanced skills in molecular genetics and morphological analysis, while my role as a Teaching Assistant at AASTMT has strengthened my ability to communicate complex concepts. My background includes a B.Sc. in Fisheries and Aquaculture Technology (AASTMT, 2021) and current work as a Planning Support specialist at DP World Sokhna, where I've developed operational planning skills in a high-pressure maritime environment. This rare blend of academic research, teaching experience, and industry operations - combined with my proven ability to work precisely under pressure - positions me to contribute meaningfully to marine conservation initiatives and translate research into sustainable management practices.

Comment(s)
I am pleased to announce the publication of my research paper, 'DNA Barcoding as a Tool for Evaluating Genetic Diversity and Morphological Characteristics of Sparus aurata in Egypt,' in the Egyptian Journal of Aquatic Biology and Fisheries (Volume 29, Issue 3, pp. 3131–3152). This study advances the understanding of population genetics in S. aurata, providing critical insights for sustainable fisheries management in the Mediterranean region.
