About me

Academic bio

I cannot say precisely when it began, but it must have been sometime around my secondary school years—those quiet moments when I started to question what most people around me seemed to take for granted. Questions like: What lies beneath what we see? What powers the invisible? These early curiosities stayed with me, quietly shaping the way I saw the world, even before I had the language or tools to articulate them.

These questions followed me into my undergraduate studies in Physics at Ain Shams University. There, I gravitated toward the fundamental, the abstract—the kind of questions that blur the line between philosophy and science. During my thesis, which focused on dark matter, I started coming across ideas in quantum computing. It wasn’t part of the official curriculum, but I got pulled in. The more I read, the more I realized how much of a game changer it is—not just in computing, but in how we think about problems. It’s not just faster algorithms or fancier math—it’s a different way of thinking entirely, one that reshapes the rules we usually work with.

Since then, I’ve been exploring that space—working on quantum algorithms and applications that cross into areas like finance, energy, and health. It’s still early days, but what keeps me going is that same sense of questioning—trying to understand how things work beneath the surface, and how we can use that to build better systems.

Beyond research

When I’m not reading papers, coding, or thinking about quantum circuits, I spend time with friends. I also enjoy reading, mainly politics and philosophy, and I like watching movies—movie direction is actually one of the things I’ve always thought about doing at some point. There’s something about framing a story visually that fascinates me.
