A little bit about myself

me graduating

me graduating college

I was born and raised in the historical city of Alexandria, Egypt. I did a bit of college hopping along the way. I spent 1.5 years at Alexandria University in the Computer Science/Statistics program. Then, I made a bold move to the US to attend Saint Vincent College for a year, where I double-majored in Mathematics and Computer Science. Finally, I transferred to the University of Pittsburgh, where I spent my last 2 years of undergrad and earned my Bachelor's degree in Computer Science with a concentration in Mathematics.

My interests

I am passionate about Mathematics, Theoretical Computer Science. My main three big interests are Algorithms, Computability and Complexity Theory.

Some Specific topics of interest:

  • Hierarchy theorems.
  • Graph Coloring Algorithms.
  • Quantum Computing
Infinite Chess

My favorite infinite game: Infinite Chess.

  • Combinatorics.
Analysis textbook

One of my first exposures to Analysis, and a great text! I loved the detailed examples and explanations (unlike some of the other texts aka Rudin haha)
