1. Industry 5.0 and Industrial Cybersecurity: Amr Adel has authored papers on Industry 5.0, particularly focusing on its potential opportunities, adoption challenges, and future research directions. Furthermore, he's also worked on improving cyber forensic administration in this context, highlighting an interest in industrial cybersecurity.

2. Data Analysis, Sentiment Analysis and Social Media: With work on sentiment analysis during the COVID-19 pandemic, he seems to be interested in data analysis, particularly in a sociopolitical context. The use of social media data (tweets) for clustering via cellular genetic algorithm also suggests an interest in social media data mining and analysis.

3. E-Learning and Educational Technologies: His research on the implementation of fog computing in educational IoT systems and an IoT learning model for smart universities demonstrates an interest in the intersection of technology and education. He is also interested in developing intelligent blended learning models for institutions.

4. Blockchain and Internet of Things (IoT): Papers on the integrative framework for blockchain implementation and IoT learning model for smart universities show his interest in exploring and developing new applications for blockchain technology and IoT, especially in the context of education and business.

5. Digital Forensics and Cybersecurity: With multiple papers on topics related to digital forensics (such as multimedia information retrieval for digital forensic investigations and a digital forensics investigative framework for control rooms in critical infrastructure) as well as penetration testing against cyber-attacks in critical infrastructures, he clearly has a strong interest in cybersecurity and digital forensics.

6. Critical Infrastructure Security: With work on digital forensics for control rooms in critical infrastructure and penetration testing against cyber-attacks in critical infrastructures, Adel has shown a distinct interest in the security of critical infrastructure.

7. Machine Learning and Genetic Algorithm: The paper on clustering tweets using a cellular genetic algorithm demonstrates an interest in machine learning and genetic algorithms, specifically their application in processing and analyzing social media data.
