I am an undergraduate student in Computer Science & Engineering at the American University of Beirut (AUB), expecting to graduate in June 2028.
My main interest is in theoretical computer science, particularly graph reconfiguration and algorithmic graph theory. I am currently studying independent set reconfiguration under the Token Jumping model on outerplanar graphs, under the supervision of Prof. Amer Abdo Mouawad.
I also work on quantum software and generative modeling for music. My research and projects span algorithms, software engineering, and computational approaches to creative systems.
Research interests
Graph reconfiguration; graph algorithms; computational complexity; quantum software; generative modeling.
