From Cairo, Egypt, Muhammad was admitted to the School of Engineering at Cairo University in the fall of 2016. There, he studied pre-engineering for one year before transferring to Murray State University in KY, where he earned his BS in Engineering Physics. Currently, Muhammad is a second-year Ph.D. student at NC state university and is currently working as a research assistant in the FREEDM systems center. Muhammad’s main interests are power electronics converter topologies and Wireless Power Transfer. Additionally, he is looking to expand his knowledge in resonant power converters and their packaging techniques. 

Throughout his senior year as an undergraduate student and MSU and his one and a half years at NCSU, Muhammad has been involved in a variety of research projects. At MSU, Muhammad was involved in modeling and testing a multi-level DC-AC inverter topology that is suitable of PV modules, modeling PV-module arrays, and ultrasonic nondestructive testing of materials. At NCSU, Muhammad was involved with the following projects: Class-E-based WPT charging system, Capacitive wireless power transfer, and developing smart chargers for electric wheelchairs. 

Outside of work and academics, Muhammad is an advocate of STEM education. He has been working for the TRIO program from 2017 to 2019 empowering less-privileged students. Finally, some of Muhammad’s hobbies are reading Arabic literature, gaming, and biking.
