About me
I hold a PhD in Robotics from the Technical University of Chemnitz, and I have over 15 years of experience in the field, including 7 years in team leadership. Together with my interdisciplinary team, we developed innovative technologies for flexible and efficient robot applications. Furthermore, my impact on the robotics community is well recognized with four international patents and over 50 scientific papers published. I have led numerous research and industrial projects on both national and international scales and managed the CTC-Collaborative Technology Cluster with 25+ industrial partners, which focused on human-robot interaction and robotics applications, especially for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs).
Through AGYA, I would like to establish an interdisciplinary robotics community that creates sustainable projects between the Arab region and Germany.
