Three EECE graduates co-author a paper in Nature for the first time in the history of EECE

The EECE Department is proud to announce that three of its graduates:  Hany AHMED (EECE2010), Ashraf MAHGOUB (EECE2011), and Mustafa ABDALLAH (EECE2012) have co-authored a paper that was recently published in the highly esteemed publication: Nature. The title of the paper is:

Athena: Automated Tuning of k-mer based Genomic Error Correction Algorithms using Language Models

and it can be accessed at URL: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-019-52196-4

 

It is worth mentioning that Eng. Hany AHMED obtained his MSc. from the EECE Dept. in 2016 and is currently working for his PhD (since 2018) under the supervision of Prof. Mohsen RASHWAN. 

 

This is the first time in the history of the EECE Dept. that its affiliates have made such an exceptional achievement. We would like to congratulate both the three EECE graduates as well as their mentor - Prof. Mohsen RASHWAN - for their great efforts and dedication that culminated in this deserved outcome.
