Work experience |
| Spring 2005 till present |
Faculty member at the Laboratory of Computer Engineering of the TU Delft. Educational tasks include the participation in the teaching activities and the study programs of the faculty and the supervision of both MSc and PhD students. Important responsibilities are the participation in national and international research projects, guidance of junior researchers, and the acquisition of new projects. |
| Fall 2004 |
Researcher and software developer at the Faculty of Architecture of the TU Delft.
Tasks include development and implementation of a knowledge management system to record and guide the design process of architects. |
| 2001 till spring 2004 |
PhD researcher at the Research and Development (R&D) Department of Infineon in Munich, Germany.
Tasks include the following:
- Identification, characterization and modeling of wafer level defects and failure mechanisms in DRAM manufacturing processes.
- Programming of test equipment to probe signals at internal memory pads and comparing them with simulation output.
- Development and software implementation of test generation algorithms, using simulation-based fault analysis of DRAM.
- Evaluation of test effectiveness using statistical analysis of failed devices.

| 2000-2001 |
PhD researcher at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering of the TU Delft. Tasks include research on faulty behavior and test generation for memory devices, as well as contributing to the responsibilities of the professor in lecturing and student support and evaluation. |
| 1999 |
Internship at Siemens Semiconductors, Munich, Germany. Tasks include Spice-level DRAM design evaluation, and application of inductive fault analysis (IFA) to the design. Research performed on the identification of design vulnerabilities to physical defects and failure mechanisms on wafer. |

Hobbies
I enjoy reading, and interested in traveling and getting to know different cultures. I speak four languages: Arabic, English, Dutch and German. I visited more than 20 countries in Asia, Africa, America and Erope. I'm also interested in computing and programming. I program in C++, Turbo Pascal, Basic and Assembly. |
Activities
In cooperation with others, we started the Infineon Student Club to bring together lots of international students working at Infineon. Check our web site at www.geocities.com/ifxstudents. |
