Bio


    Ahmed Younes is currently the Vice Dean of Education and Student Affairs, Faculty of Science, Alexandria University. The former Manager of the International Scientific Publishing Center, Alexandria University, and also the former Academic Supervisor of the Faculty of Computers and Data Science, Alexandria University. He is Professor of Computer Science (Quantum Computing) at Alexandria University and Honorary Research Fellow at School of Computer Science, University of Birmingham, United Kingdom. He is the founder and leader of Alexandria Quantum Computing Group (AleQCG), the manager of the Center of Excellence for Quantum Computers – Alexandria University, the coordinator of the Professional Master in Quantum Computing and Quantum Information, the coordinator of QEgypt (QWorld cousin) and the representative of Egypt in World Quantum Day. He obtained his PhD from University of Birmingham, United Kingdom in 2004 in quantum circuits and quantum algorithms. He introduced techniques in amplitude amplifications and quantum search algorithms, known as `Partial Diffusion Operator' and made contributions in representing Quantum Boolean circuits as Reed- Muller logic. He published many papers in Quantum Algorithms, Quantum cryptography and Reversible Circuits.
