About

I am a Master's thesis student in computer science at the University of Pittsburgh. My current work sits around reinforcement learning, resource allocation, and algorithms that use predictions while still keeping some worst-case discipline.

Before Pitt, I studied mathematics and computer science at Saint Vincent College and the University of Pittsburgh. I am originally from Alexandria, Egypt, and I still tend to approach research through the parts of computer science that first pulled me in: algorithms, mathematical structure, and problems where the model is simple but the behavior is not.

Outside my main research work, I like reading and writing about theoretical computer science, quantum computing, and the occasional systems problem that helps me understand the machinery under the abstraction.
