Biography

Ahmad received his Master's degree in Computer Engineering and the Ph.D. degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from George Mason University in 2011 and 2017, respectively. He earned his Bachelor's degree from Arab Academy for Science and Technology in Alexandria Egypt in 2002.

Projects

  • Implementing Partial dynamic reconfigurable system that controls two SHA-3 Candidates (Blake and JH) modules through Microblaze microprocessor using Xilinx ISE, EDK and Planahead tools
  • Implemented Grain cipher for FPGA using Xilinx ISE tools ciphering/deciphering process was simulated using Modelsim
  • Implementing RSA cipher using Montgomery multipliers (Harris architecture)
  • Simulated the breaking of the Enigma machine code
