Brief Biography

Amr El Mougy joined the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at The American University in Cairo (AUC) in the fall of 2023. He specializes in cybersecurity, networks, and autonomous systems. He obtained his PhD from Queen’s University, Canada, in 2013, his MSc from Concordia University, Canada, in 2006, and his BSc from Ain Shams University, Egypt, in 2003.

Before joining AUC, El Mougy was an associate professor and vice dean of the faculty of media engineering and technology, at the German University in Cairo (2014 - 2023). He introduced and taught courses in cryptography, web security, network security, and computer networks. He also established the Internet of Things lab and the Autonomous Driving Car Lab. He has led projects that discovered novel security attacks and proposed novel solutions to various threats. He also led the team that developed a functional autonomous driving car capable of complex navigation and maneuvers. Before the German University in Cairo, he was a postdoctoral fellow at Ottawa University (2013), where he worked on security and privacy solutions for LTE-based public safety networks. El Mougy has over 70 refereed publications in his various research areas of interest.
