I am a Ph.D. student in Computational Science and Engineering at Georgia Tech's College of Computing.
My research interests are in the areas of machine learning, optimization and networks.
I am advised by Professor Bistra Dilkina. I also collaborate with Prof. George Nemhauser and Prof. Le Song.
Prior to GT, I studied for my bachelor's at the American University of Beirut, Lebanon.
