Hi! I'm a high school student studying Maths, Further Maths, Physics, Chemistry, and Arabic for my A-Levels with 5A* predictions (the first in my school's history to achieve this). Outside of class, I work on understanding and maybe improving AI. Particularly, I enjoy working on what I see as the most important pillars for the development of a trusted, transformative superintelligence, which are: learning (continual in specific), reasoning, and safety & alignment. I also enjoy working on some theoretical physics and maths projects. And I've published a few papers in these areas already (and more are coming soon!)
Research
My research spans various fields, but I particularly enjoy working on (Continual) Learning, Reasoning, and Safety & Alignment. That said, I'm not limiting myself to just these topics! My recent works explore:
- Machine Learning Theory (NeurIPS'25)
- AI Evaluation & Benchmarking (INFORMS Optimzation Society Conference'26)
more soon...

Miscellaneous
I enjoy swimming and playing a wide range of sports (anything from basketball to hiking, and quite literally anything else!) I also love experiencing new things and pushing myself to do what I’m afraid of or haven't done before.
