ABOUT

My name is Ahmed Elsheshtawy. I am an Electrical Engineering student at Qatar University on an Admission Scholarship. with a strong interest in practical applications of communication systems and power electronics. I am currently in the early stages of my Electrical Engineering degree and look forward to developing deeper expertise in communication systems and power electronics as I progress through my coursework. Additionally, I am quite interested in exploring how electrical engineering connects with other disciplines, especially mechanical engineering, to develop innovative, real-world solutions.

Machine Learning

ML Quadratic Equation Mimicking

January 2026

Made a basic ML model with 4 neurons, where the model is trained on predicting the outputs of the function of y = x2

Technologies: Python
Concepts: Mean-Squared-Error (Loss function), Gradient, Gradient Descent
Results: The model performed horribly due to insufficient complexity. Meaning, the model found a good local minima that minimized its loss (~13856.675), but the loss couldn't go down from there and therefore the model couldn't model the function x2. In addition, the reason I didn't increase the number of neurons is due to having a variable for every weight, activation, bias, and gradient, which makes the process of calculating forward propagation and backpropagation quite difficult. This suggests that I should use a library that offers matrices manipluations like NumPy. Nevertheless, this was an amazing experiment to get to know deeply how NNs work

ML Linear Regression

January 2026

Made a very basic ML Model that predicts slope and y-intersect of a linear function using linear regression. Made this as a practice to improve my knowledge in ML.

Technologies: Python
Concepts: Mean-Squared-Error (Loss function), Gradient, Gradient Descent
Results: The model succeeded in mimicking the function y = 4x + 5 successfully, predicting outputs that are really close to the correct ones after 100 epochs

Dean's List Award Image
Attended the Final TWG Workshop in the Leading Humanitarian AI Initiative in Collaboration between Qatar University and the British Embassy in Qatar. It was an amazing experience where we got to meet with many experts in the field of Humanitarian AI, and we got to share our insights and experiences in the field as well. I am so grateful for being part of this amazing initiative and I am looking forward to seeing how it will grow in the future.

Attended a ML Condensed Course at QU
8 January, 2026

ML Workshop Image
In this condensed course, we studied the basics of Machine Learning. We covered various topics, from types of learning (Supervised, Unsupervised, Reinforcement), DNNs, CNNs, RNNs (Like LSTMs), Word Embedding, Encoding, Decoding, and Transformers. We also got the chance to apply this theoretical knowledge with Laboratories where we learned basic API of NumPy and TensorFlow/Keras.

Participated at the Qatar Health Tech Hackathon 2025
4 December, 2025

We developed Dalil, your guide for lab test preparation. Lab test failures cost hospitals approximately $450,000 annually, with 95% occurring in the pre-analytical phase due to miscommunication and language barriers. Dalil solves this by providing patients with clear, multilingual instructions and educational visual graphics, ensuring they properly prepare for tests and reducing costly errors.
The full project is available on my Github page.
