I am a PhD student at the RLAI lab working with Rupam Mahmood and affiliated with Amii. I develop general mechanisms for learning from continuous streams of experience.
Prior to this, I completed my master's degree from the University of Alberta and I completed my bachelor's degree in Communication and Information Engineering from Zewail City of Science and Technology, Egypt.
Taking photos is something I enjoy doing when I have some free time. You can check out the world as I see it from here. I also love observing how animals behave and interact with their environments, especially those intelligent ravens.
