Work History
Senior Student
Purdue University
West Lafayette
08.2024 - Current
- Designed a low-noise amplifier (LNA) for 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi applications using Cadence tools and GPDK 45nm CMOS technology as part of a senior design project. Achieved a 19 dB gain and a 0.3 dB noise figure, with optimized input/output matching networks and low power consumption.
- Designed a differential Gilbert cell mixer for a direct-conversion RF receiver using GPDK 45nm CMOS technology in Cadence. Achieved approximately 6 dB conversion gain with high isolation between ports (LO-RF isolation of 52 dB), supporting integration with a 2.4 GHz front end.
- Undergraduate Teaching Assistant (UTA) for ECE 20008 – Electrical Engineering Fundamentals II at Purdue University. Assisted in lab sessions, supported students with circuit analysis and design concepts, and provided feedback on homework and exams.
Junior Student
Egypt University of Informatics

10.2021 - 06.2026
- Designed a 5th-order Chebyshev low-pass filter using Gm-C active cells and LC ladder topology, implemented and simulated in LTspice. Focused on achieving high selectivity and stable frequency response for analog signal conditioning applications.
- Designed a two-stage audio amplifier using op-amp circuits in LTspice, with the first stage configured for voltage amplification using negative feedback, and the second stage functioning as a buffer to drive the load with minimal distortion.
- Designed a DC power supply converting 220V AC to 12V DC with a ripple voltage of less than 10 mV, using rectification, filtering, and voltage regulation techniques to ensure stable output for sensitive analog circuits.
- Undergraduate Teaching Assistant for Electrical Engineering Fundamentals I at EUI, assisting with circuit analysis topics, lab sessions, and student support.
