Ghassan Oueidat

Ghassan holds a B.E in mechanical engineering and a minor in applied mathematics from the American University of Beirut (AUB). During his undergraduate degree, he was one of the founders of the AUB robotics club and delivered several mechanical workshops and MATLAB tutorials. He was listed on the dean’s honor list in both mathematics and mechanical engineering departments and graduated with the dean’s creative achievement award at the Electrical and Computer Engineering department for delivering an autonomous high-rise cleaning robot which was later deployed at the Qatar Science and Technology Park (QSTP) in Doha and in Santiago Chile’s Egana2 building complex. In his free time, he enjoys playing his guitar, bass, or bongos in his free time. Otherwise, he can be found at the beach enjoying the warm Florida breeze.

Ghassan’s engineering career started as a researcher at the University of Twente’s Surgical Robotics Lab (SRL) in the Netherlands where he delivered a guidance and navigation system to track and guide self-propelled microjets for drug delivery. He also worked as the lead mechatronics engineer during the development of an in-situ capacitive tomography sensor for real time oil spill tracking for the US Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) and was later awarded a patent. He later did research at the vision and robotics lab at AUB and was responsible for the POMDP path planning and Lyapunov tracking algorithms.

Ghassan Joined Phiston Technologies in 2022 as a Systems Design Engineer where he is contributing to the modernization of existing products and the developments of new technologies in the Data handling and destruction industry. His days are never without excitement here at Phiston, with the range of disciplines involved and the vast opportunities that have yet to be explored he plans on pushing the limits in every direction.
