About
I am a third year student and researcher at Texas A&M University Qatar pursuing a bachelor in Electrical Engineering with minors in Mathematics and Physics. My research explores physics-informed geometric deep learning and neural 3D reconstruction, developing methods for sparse-view reconstruction using physical constraints. I'm passionate about creating work that makes a real difference in the scientific community and helps peopleโresearch that generates genuine insights rather than just better numbers.
My current project, PhysicsNeRF, integrates physics-based constraints into neural radiance fields for state-of-the-art 3D reconstruction from minimal input views, accepted at ICML 2025 Workshop in Vancouver. While my primary interests lie in geometric 3D physics-informed deep learning and AI for social good, I'm drawn to any machine learning research that creates meaningful impact. I follow research questions wherever they lead, as long as they advance scientific understanding and benefit society.
I am fortunate to work with exceptional advisors: Dr. Hasan Kurban (HBKU) and Dr. Hussein Alnuweiri (TAMU-Q) on neural rendering and 3D reconstruction, Dr. Hasan Kurban on high-impact AI for social good, and Dr. Halima Bensmail (QCRI) and Dr. Michael Aupetit (QCRI) jointly on flow-based clustering for high-dimensional data.

Hobbies outside of research ;)
Beyond research, I enjoy traveling and mountaineering, having climbed several mountains including the highest peaks of North Africa, with plans for many more adventures. I'm also passionate about running long distances, combining my love for physical challenges with exploring new places. In conclusion, I love nature and exploring.
