About Me

I am an Assistant Professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at the University of Detroit Mercy since Fall 2020. Before that, I spent 1 year as a postdoctoral research fellow at Georgia Institute of Technology.

I received my Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from Penn State University, University Park PA in 2018 under supervision of Prof. Aylin Yener.  I also received a masters degree in Mathematics from the same university in 2017, under supervision of Prof. Jan Reimann.

Before that, I received a masters degree in wireless communications from Nile University, Egypt, in 2012, and my bachelor degree in Electrical Engineering (communication and electronics specialization) from Alexandria University, Egypt, in 2010.

My research interests include

  • Fair and interpretable machine learning 
  • Federated learning and distributed optimization
  • Causal learning and reasoning
  • Information security and privacy
  • Information theory 

On the application side, I have a wide range of interests from data science, wireless communication, edge/distributed computing, autonomous driving, to social & policy sciences, humanities & philosophy, and health informatics.

 

Join US! I am always looking for talented and self-motivated PhD students to join our research group and work on subjects listed above. If you are interested, please send an email to nafeamo@udmercy.edu. Email subject should be: “PhD Student Application” not to get unnoticed. Include recent resume, transcripts (unofficial ok), research papers if any.

I also have openings for undergraduate research assistants.

If you are already a student at Detroit Mercy, then taking a course that I am offering and doing very well is a great plus.
