I am a PhD student in computer science at Stony Brook University and a member of the Institute for Advanced Computational Science (IACS). My research focuses on using computational techniques, largely from natural language processing, to study how cognitive states (e.g. belief, desire, intention, etc...) interact with language. I am advised by Owen Rambow.

Misc.

In my spare time I write chiptune music, edit Wikipedia, speedrun games, and hack various things. I have designed hardware and software to control the GameBoy's Z80 processor with MIDI which made its way onto various maker blogs, including Hackaday. I have also written bots to play an online card game, that have a ~50% win rate against human players. I am Moroccan American.
