Omar Aboul-Enein (Fed)

Computer Scientist

Omar Aboul-Enein joined the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) as a Computer Scientist in August 2021, having previously completed three years of the NIST Pathways Internship Program, four summers in the Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship Program (SURF), and two summers in Summer High School Internship Program (SHIP). At NIST, Omar supports the Measurement Science for Manufacturing Robotics Program by working on the development and validation of metrics, test artifacts, and test methods to evaluate mobile manipulator systems and coordinate registration methods. He is also a participating member of ASTM committee F45 on Robotics, Automation, and Autonomous Systems and co-chair of subcommittee F45.05 on Grasping and Manipulation. Omar graduated from the Hood College Master of Science program in Computer Science in May 2021 and from Salisbury University in May 2018 with dual bachelor’s degrees in Computer Science and Mathematics.
