I hail from the enchanting land of Morocco! I lived in Switzerland for three years, where I did my undergrad at EPFL. During my time at EPFL, I took interest in fields that blend mathematics, engineering, and technology to solve complex problems, which led me to pursue a Masters in computational and data-driven engineering mechanics at Columbia University. In graduate school, I engaged in a diverse array of projects that fueled my passion for exploration and problem-solving. From delving into the intricacies of finite element analysis to harnessing the potential of deep learning algorithms for structural health monitoring, and from optimizing complex systems to extract maximum efficiency, each project has offered a unique opportunity to expand my horizons. After graduating I worked as a quantitative risk analyst in the vibrant New York city! Outside of work, I like belly dancing, travelling, and hanging out with my little brother.
