Amr is a postdoctoral research fellow at the Deutsche Telekom Chair of Communication Networks, TU Dresden - CeTI Excellence cluster headed by Prof. Dr. Frank Fitzek. At the time of writing this, he finalized his PhD thesis about “Agile Network Security for Software Defined Edge Clouds” at the chair of data privacy & security under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Thorsten Strufe. During his PhD, he was actively involved in many research clusters and projects including the Helmholtz Institute of Information Security and Dependability (KASTEL) at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), and the center of excellence for Tactile Internet with Human-in-the-loop (CeTI). Amr’s work won multiple awards such as the first place at the Telekom challenge 2021. It also was featured in many venues such as the Software campus summit 2022, Huawei research center, Munich in 2019, Avast inc, USA in 2020, and the website of the German ministry of education and research (BMBF) in 2018. In the past, Amr was a founding member of stacktile GmbH advised by Prof. Dr. Stefan Schmid, and Prof. Dr. Marco Canini, and was a research assistant at the TU Berlin, chair of Internet Network Architectures (INET) headed by Prof. Dr. Anja Feldmann. He also held various positions at Vodafone and Intel labs.
