Biography

Ahmed completed his bachelor’s degree in Materials science from the faculty of engineering, Ain shams university in Cairo, Egypt. He earned a master’s degree in Materials science from Darmstadt University of Technology in Germany(2021). During his studies  he worked as a research intern at Merck KGaA Electronics business sector. After successfully completing his internship he was offered the opportunity to work on his master’s thesis in the same department. During this time (February 1st, 2020 to May 31st, 2021), Ahmed worked on several topics, including microelectronics test devices fabrication, lithography, optimization of device designs for reliability tests, and design of alternative protection layers for bond pads of microelectronic test devices (master thesis topic). After graduation, Ahmed worked as a research assistant for a short period at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research. Later, he joined the Department of Molecular Physics at Lodz University of Technology as a physicist from October 2021 to April 2022.

In June 2022, Ahmed joined TU Delft as a PhD candidate in the Electronics Components Technology and Materials (ECTM) group in the Department of Microelectronics. He is currently working on a joint project between TUD and ITEC focusing on developing technology for ultra-high throughput and sustainable chip assembly processes, which will contribute to the next generation of chip assembly.
