About Me

I am a master's student in Data Engineering and Analytics with a focus on Computer Vision at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), fully funded by DAAD.
I am currently completing my master's thesis within the Computer Vision Group led by Prof. Daniel Cremers. I graduated from the American University of Beirut (AUB) in June 2022 with a B.S. in Computer Science, fully funded by the U.S.-Middle East Partnership Initiative (MEPI) through the Tomorrow's Leaders Program. Throughout my academic path, I have worked as a Research Assistant at both AUB and TUM, and as a Data Scientist at Infineon Technologies. I am currently working as a Computer Vision Student Researcher at the Fraunhofer Institute for Cognitive Systems (IKS), where I focus on multimodal 3D perception, sensor fusion, and robust real-time person detection for robotics.
