Rana Mohie Eldin graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Engineering with a minor in computer science. She also holds a master’s degree in Economic Analysis from the Barcelona Graduate School of Economics (BGSE). She had the goal of pursuing a PhD and a career in academia, so she decided to compliment her knowledge from her master's degree with deep theoretical knowledge in economics. This is why she is currently doing a funded master's of research program in Economics at the University of Carlos III in Madrid. Rana worked with the Egyptian government on a policy evaluation project for their new ration program as part of a co-operation with her previous employer. She then worked briefly in a policy research center in Cairo where she worked on a project evaluating alternative taxation policies for Egypt. Rana received the honors scholarship from the American University in Cairo to cover her tuition fees; the scholarship is awarded to the student with the top score among the university’s applicants. Rana's research interests are in macroeconomics including both international macroeconomics, and labor economics. Her first master's thesis was on international macroeconomics with a focus on developing countries where she explored a novel forecasting approach to the problem of predicting currency crises. She is also interested in applied labor economics work in developing countries
