Mohamed is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Krembil Centre for Neuroinformatics. He developed his interest in the human brain while studying electrical engineering at Alexandria University in Egypt. He then moved to Japan for his graduate studies, investigating top-down modulation in the human visual cortex and modelling this process using deep neural networks. He previously worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher at Washington University in St. Louis where he was building machine-learning models to predict post-surgical medical complications. He is currently interested in the interface between machine and deep learning and neuroscience for modelling psychiatric disorders.
