Bio
Abd-Elhamid Taha
Have had the pleasure to work with Ala on two occasions. In both, I have found to extremely knowledgeable about his area (fourth generation networks communications), in addition to a having a solid electrical engineering background. He is positively meticulous, efficient and prompt, and is reliably autonomous. Would be glad to collaborate with him again.
Na'el Suwan
Ala and I started together as undergrads in JUST. He was a distinguished student who excelled and finished one year earlier than his peers. He took more credit per semester and excelled in it ! I had the pleasure of keeping contact with him and our lives has crossed into multiple occasions. Fortunately, I have always heard great recommendations from the people whom he worked/collaborated with him. Ala is an energetic, self motivated, keen to learn,and have great problem solving skills. Also, Ala is very smart and detailed oriented. With all these personal skills, knowledge, and successful career path so far, I would strongly recommend Ala to both academic and non-academic jobs.
