Research Experience
M.Sc. Thesis, Cairo University
An online nonparametric subspace identification has been combined with MPC to introduce an adaptive version of subspace predictive control. The algorithm has been developed and applied to an experimental level process in which tank’s water level is regulated through a pneumatic industrial inlet valve while a time varying disturbance is applied to the outlet flow of the water tank.

Participated in a research project to design and implement Solar Water Desalination station. I was responsible for Electrical and Automation Engineering including electrical equipment selection, developing solar tracking code and configuring the required displays.
Graduation Project, Cairo University
Boiler drum level dynamics has been modeled in ABB Micro DCS (AC700F) and controlled using cascaded loop with feedforward (Three Element) controller. The three element controller is located on another similar unit (AC700F) to complete HIL setup. Moreover, MATLAB identification toolbox is used to identify an experimental level process. The obtained model has been simulated and equipped with a PID controller on SIMULINK. Tuned controller is then applied using ABB AC700F and the whole system was supervised by Freelance display component “DigiVis”.
