I am a physics PhD student at Cambridge in the Institute of Astronomy. My research is broadly interested in theoretical physics and its intersection with machine learning and AI (but I'm new here). I am advised by Miles Cranmer.

Previously (March 2025), I completed a PhD in computer science at Stony Brook University where I was a member of the Institute for Advanced Computational Science (IACS). My research (unsurprisingly) involved NLP and machine learning. Owen Rambow believed in me first.

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.
