Amar received BSc and MSc in EEng from Assiut University and a PhD from Curtin University.  He is Adj. senior reserch fellow at the School of Computer Science and Software Engineering, The University of Western Australia. Currently, He is a co-founder and the chief sceince officer of MyFiziq Ltd.

Amar has a broad experience with electronics, telecommunications, signal, image and video processing, wave propagation, computer vision, AI and machine learning, and Big Data. This is combined with a strong understanding of computer literacy and programming in several languages and the integration in different platforms including Matlab, C/C++, Objective-C/C++, Python,  FORTRAN, developments of iOS and Android Apps, AWS cloud services, Machine learning  platforms including caffe, Tensorflow/Keras, Onnx, Pytorch, and Apple CoreML.

Amar applied his expertise in a number of scientific, businesses and practical systems including but not limited to: signals, speech, image and video processing, telecommunications, biometrics, security, motion and sport analysis, non-invasive sport and health technologies and medical imaging systems.

He worked for several organizations including the University of Western Australia, Curtin University, Australia Telecommunication CRC, Swimming Australia, Australia Institute of Sport, WA Institute of Sport, and Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital, and the PROMPT institute. Amar still maintaining strong relationships and collaborations with colleagues in most of these well-known organizations and many other colleagues in Universities and R&D centres in Australia and have a global R&D network of collaborations with colleagues in the USA, Canada, Germany, Italy, Singapore, Dubai, Thailand, Hong Kong to name a few.

Amar published over 70 fully refereed publications, of which 60 journal and conference publications as first author with over 515 google scholar citations and over 339 Scopus citations (as of Jan 2020).  Also he is a co-inventor of over 8 patents with MyFiziq Ltd. Furthermore, he is also a reviewer of several major publishers such as IEEE, Elsevier, and Wiley and being a committee member for R&D conferences. His collaborative work and expertise attracted R&D funding through the University and Government grants
