Magda Metwally

Magda Metwally is a Lecturer in the Department of Applied Mathematics at Santa Clara University's School of Engineering. As the first female to achieve multiple graduate degrees in engineering disciplines at the University of British Columbia (1972) and Santa Clara University (1982), she has broken barriers while teaching courses such as AMTH 106, AMTH 230, and AMTH 231 since 1987.

• B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from Ain Shams University (1967)
• M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from University of British Columbia (1972)
• Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from Santa Clara University (1982)

Her research interests lie at the intersection of applied mathematics and engineering, focusing on computational methods for mathematical modeling, numerical analysis techniques, and signal processing applications. This interdisciplinary work connects to broader fields like theoretical physics and engineering mathematics.

• Gerald E. Markle Award for Teaching Excellence (1991, 2001, 2019)

Maintaining a balanced life, Dr. Metwally combines her teaching career with family responsibilities as a wife, mother, and grandmother. She actively contributes to Bay Area charitable organizations while pursuing hobbies in cooking and alternative health studies.
