I have met Aya as a teaching assistant of Bioinformatics R course at AUC. Aya was patient, extremely helpful with sound knowledge of basic as well as advanced applications of the course material. She helped many students excel at course material although students came for different backgrounds.

I had the privilege of working with Aya in the Aswan Heart Centre, Magdi Yacoub Heart Foundation. Aya is a proactive, analytical, hard worker, result-oriented, responsible and technically sound researcher. I worked closely with Aya since I was a Biobank manager in the Aswan Heart Centre. I found that she is trustworthy, committed, caring, open, reliable adept, a transformative researcher who set a great example for others. Through my work experience with ِِِAya, she is an impressive researcher -- innovative, focused, collaborative, capable, a valued colleague who inspires actions. It has a great pleasure for me to work with her. You will never regret team teaming with Aya. My partnership with Aya in the challenging work we took on together has been one of the joys of my career.
