Tarek Elderini, Ph.D.

I am a Ph.D. candidate at the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, University of North Dakota, ND, USA. I have received my M.Sc. degree in December 2013 within the field of Robotic Systems from the Arab Academy for Science, Technology & Maritime Transport (AASTMT), Alexandria, Egypt. I enjoy swimming, riding horses, hunting, and playing the real football (soccer).

My research interests include Robotics (Wheeled Mobile Robots, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and Under-Water Robots (ROVs)), Automatic Control Systems, Computer Vision, and Machine Learning.
