In June 2007 I moved to Microsoft Innovation Centre in Egypt (CMIC) and I worked there till the end of 2008 when I moved to DCU for my PhD degree. I received my masters degree in November 2008 from Faculty of Engineering, Cairo University in the specialization of Natural Language Processing and Information Retrieval.
