Moustafa F. Alzantot
I am a Ph.D. Candidate in Computer Science Department at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). I am working with Prof. Mani Srivsatava as a member of the Networked and Embedded Systems Laboratory (NESL). I am also a team member of the DAIS-ITA project, and I was a research intern at Qualcomm Research (2015), and software engineering intern at Google (2016).
Prior to joining UCLA, I worked as a research assistant in Wireless Research Center (WRC) at Egypt Japan University of Science and Technology (E-JUST) under supervision of Dr. Moustafa Youssef from Sep. 2010 till Nov. 2013. I also worked as a teaching assistant at the Computer Engineering Department at Tanta University. In summer 2013, I was a research intern at Bell-Labs under supervision of Dr. Fahim Kawsar. In summer 2011, I worked as an intern at Google. I recieved my Bachelors from the Computer Engineering and Automatic Control Department at Tanta University in 2008.
