I am a third year Ph.D. student at Carleton University, within The Algorithms, Graphs, and Geometry Lab, I am supervised by Prof. Pat Morin and Prof. Vida Dujmović.

I graduated with a master degree in Computer Science from the Parisian Master of Research in Computer Science, I was a student at Ecole Polytechnique and Paris-Saclay University.

I was very fortunate to be advised by Prof. Vincent Cohen-Addad during my master research internship at LIP6.

During my undergraduate studies, I was a USAID Scholar at the American University of Beirut where I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and a Minor in Computational Science in 2017.

My research interests include:

• The intersections between Theoretical Computer Science, Geometry, and Topology.
• Computational Science (Computational physics, numerical simulation…).

My CV can be found here.

“Nobody ever figures out what life is all about, and it doesn’t matter. Explore the world. Nearly everything is really interesting if you go into it deeply enough.” - Richard P. Feynman

“Above all, do not lose your desire to walk. Everyday, I walk myself into a state of well-being & walk away from every illness. I have walked myself into my best thoughts, and I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it. But by sitting still, & the more one sits still, the closer one comes to feeling ill. Thus if one just keeps on walking, everything will be all right.” ― Søren Kierkegaard
