I was born
and grew up in
Alexandria,
Egypt,
where Pharaonic
knowledge,
Roman' pageantry,
Greek
mythology,
Ptolemaic
art,
and Coptic
doctrine
were all mixed
in the warmth,
magic
and romance of
that
Mediterranean melting pot!
In 1987, I
decided to try the New World
melting pot. So, I moved to
Cambridge and attended
Harvard University, where I got
SM and
PhD
degrees in Computer Science.
Since September 1991, I have been with
the faculty of
the Computer Science Department
at Boston University,
CAS.
If not in
my office, I
am likely
gardening in our backyard at the mercy of
Boston's
moody weather, or helping
my wife Kathryn Welter
try out a new Middle Eastern recipe,
or perfecting a South Dakotan one
with a Norwegian
twist! That is, of course, if our kids Mark,
John, and
Kristen let us do so!
My
alma matter,
College St Marc, Bibliotecha
Alexandrina, Egypt,
The
Nile, Leverett House,
Dana Palmer
House,
Harvard's GSC, BU's campus,
Boston's best,
Harvard Square,
Wayland,
history,
cultures,
religion,
StarTrek,
parakeets,
Music
CDs, Pachelbel,
Fairuz, Tut...
I'd much rather say it all in person! |
