I’m a PhD Aerospace Engineer and Senior Combustion Engineer with 20+ years of industry and academic experience. I specialize in advanced thermal-fluids engineering: Fluid Mechanics, Turbomachinery, Gas Turbine Combustion, Combustion Science, Combustion Aero Design, Thermodynamics, Heat Transfer, and engineering data analytics. My background includes leading R&D for gas turbine engines, filing multiple patents, and mentoring students at three universities.

I offer comprehensive support for both coursework and advanced engineering challenges. For students, I clarify complex topics, prepare for exams, and build strong foundational understanding. My tutoring style is calm, structured, and visual, breaking down derivations and connecting theory to practical problem-solving. I've taught from undergraduate to graduate levels, ensuring I meet you at your specific needs—whether you aim to pass, excel, or deepen your research/industry knowledge.

For engineers and graduate students, I provide expert guidance on experimental setups, data analytics, and gas turbine combustor diagnostics and design. This includes planning experiments, troubleshooting, analyzing high-pressure combustion data, and interpreting diagnostics (PIV/LDV, emissions, high-speed imaging) to derive clear, defensible conclusions.

In our sessions, we'll diagnose confusion, build intuition, and practice exam-style problems until you're confident. If you're grappling with control volumes, energy balances, internal/external flows, boundary layers, convection/radiation, turbomachinery analysis, or combustion/propulsion topics, I can help. Message me with your syllabus or specific needs for a tailored plan to master the material.

Data Analysis

Data Analysis

Drawing on both my formal training and industry track record, I am well-qualified to teach data analytics in an applied engineering context. I completed GE’s Analytics Engineer Certification Program in 2017 and have since used advanced statistical methods, Design of Experiments (DOE), and tools such as R, MATLAB, and Minitab to solve complex combustion and gas turbine problems. As the developer of GE Aerospace’s first digital twin for gas turbine engines, I have translated high‑dimensional experimental and field data into predictive models for emissions, durability, and operational performance. In my roles at GE Research and GE Aerospace, I routinely apply data analytics to design and interpret experiments, perform root cause analysis, and build predictive emissions and performance models that inform business-critical, data‑driven decisions. Combined with my experience leading technical training (including “Lunch and Learn” sessions and engineering workshops) and mentoring engineers, this background equips me not only to practice but also to effectively teach data analytics to both technical and non‑technical audiences.
Data Science

Data Science

I am well qualified to teach data science, particularly in engineering and industrial applications, through a combination of formal analytics training and real-world impact. I completed GE’s Analytics Engineer Certification Program and have since applied advanced statistical methods, Design of Experiments (DOE), and predictive modeling to complex gas turbine and combustion problems using tools such as R, MATLAB, Minitab, and Visual Basic. As the developer of GE Aerospace’s first digital twin for gas turbine engines, I built and deployed data-driven models for emissions, durability, and performance, turning large experimental and field datasets into actionable insights. I have also led test automation efforts that reduced physical testing by 40%, demonstrating my ability to design efficient, data-centric workflows. Beyond technical execution, I have extensive teaching and mentoring experience—running “Lunch & Learn” analytics and combustion sessions, mentoring early-career engineers from 2014–2025, and delivering workshops on applied AI and gas turbine technology. This blend of rigorous analytics practice, end-to-end model development, and proven instructional experience enables me to teach data science in a way that is both conceptually solid and deeply grounded in practical, high-impact use cases.
Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical Engineering

With a strong academic record and more than two decades of teaching and mentoring experience, I am well prepared to teach mechanical engineering and related courses. I graduated from Cairo University’s Mechanical Power Engineering program with Distinction and Honors, placing second in my undergraduate batch, and later first in my graduate cohort, before earning two additional master’s degrees and a Ph.D. in the United States, all with a 4.0/4.0 GPA (Nuclear Engineering at Missouri S&T and Aerospace Engineering at the University of Cincinnati). I have formally taught in three engineering departments—Mechanical Engineering at Cairo University (2002–2005), Nuclear Engineering at the University of Missouri–Rolla (2005–2007), and Aerospace Engineering at the University of Cincinnati (2008–2010)—covering topics such as turbomachinery, fluid mechanics, numerical analysis, gas turbine combustion, and nuclear engineering. In parallel, I served as a research assistant in mechanical, nuclear, and aerospace engineering laboratories, giving me a deep, applied understanding of thermal-fluid systems, turbomachinery, and combustion that I bring into the classroom. From 2014 to 2025, I have also mentored early‑career engineers at GE, further refining my ability to explain complex engineering concepts clearly, develop young talent, and connect fundamental theory to real industrial applications.
Thermodynamics

Thermodynamics

My extensive background in thermal sciences, both academic and industrial, makes me exceptionally qualified to teach thermodynamics. My Ph.D. dissertation focused on the "Aerodynamics, Dynamics and Emissions" of a single annular combustor, and my M.S. thesis at the University of Missouri-Rolla was on "Equivalent Circuit for Transient Conduction and Convection Systems," demonstrating a deep understanding of fundamental thermodynamic principles. My coursework included specialized topics such as Gas Turbine Combustion, Combustion Theory, CFD, Advanced Propulsion, Heat Transfer for Propulsion, and Compressible Flow. Professionally, I have spent over 15 years designing, validating, and optimizing gas turbine combustors, which inherently involves the application of thermodynamics to analyze energy conversion, heat transfer, and fluid dynamics in complex systems. I have also pioneered hydrogen-enriched combustion systems and ultra-low NOx emissions technologies, requiring a thorough grasp of thermodynamic cycles and their efficiencies. My experience in developing digital twins for gas turbine engines further highlights my ability to model and predict thermodynamic behavior. This combination of rigorous academic training, hands-on research, and practical industrial application provides a comprehensive foundation for teaching thermodynamics effectively, bridging theoretical concepts with real-world engineering challenges.
