Aya Mostafa Ahmed received the B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in electrical engineering from the German University in Cairo, Egypt, in 2011 and 2014, respectively. She completed her Ph.D. in electrical engineering at the Institute of Digital Communication Systems, Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Germany, in 2022. Her doctoral work focused on advanced radar signal processing using machine learning, particularly in the areas of MIMO radar systems, waveform design optimization, and cognitive radar architectures.

Following her Ph.D., Dr. Ahmed joined Robert Bosch GmbH, Corporate Research division, where she currently works as a Research Scientist. Her work at Bosch is centered on integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) and 6G wireless technologies. She contributes to the design and development of future radar-communication co-design frameworks that support both high-resolution environmental sensing and ultra-reliable, low-latency data communication.

Dr. Ahmed’s research interests span a broad range of topics in signal processing and wireless systems, including MIMO radar signal processing, cognitive radar and adaptive sensing, and waveform design under joint radar-communication constraints. She is also deeply involved in direction of arrival (DoA) estimation and spatial signal processing, as well as the application of machine learning techniques—such as reinforcement learning—for radar resource management and dynamic task scheduling. Her current focus lies in the development of integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) systems, physical-layer design and architecture for 6G wireless networks, and the use of reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) to enhance signal propagation and sensing capabilities. Through these areas, she aims to enable intelligent, converged platforms that meet the demands of future autonomous and connected systems.
