Beyond the CV

Why Neuro-AI? ⟶

My fascination stems from the incredible synergy between artificial and biological neural networks. By observing how our brains process information, we can build more robust AI systems, which in turn act as platforms to test hypotheses about the brain's mechanisms.

Community Outreach ⟶

I firmly believe that science belongs to everyone. I am actively involved in organizing reading groups on the ethical implications of AI and teaching at summer schools like Pathfinders in AI and Arabs in Neuroscience.

Rejections and Failures ⟶

Failures and rejections are essential learning steps that forge resilience. I am committed to transparency in academia and will soon be sharing my "Failure Resume" updates.

Making the world a better place is our collective responsibility to each other and to the planet.
