About
I am a graduate students currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Computer Science, after completing a Master’s in Collective Intelligence at the School of Collective Intelligence, University Mohammed VI Polytechnic (UM6P), Morocco. I also hold a Bachelor of Engineering in Agricultural and Bio-Resources Engineering, along with over four years of experience in engineering and project management.
My primary research interest is in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), where I focus on designing intelligent, human-centered systems that enhance user experiences and contribute to sustainable solutions.
Beyond academics, I have held leadership roles, contributed to volunteer initiatives, and supported community development projects. In my free time, I enjoy mentoring students, exploring interdisciplinary knowledge, and collaborating with diverse teams to create impactful solutions.
