I am currently pursuing a Thesis-Based Master’s degree in Computer Science at the Gina Cody School of Engineering and Computer Science at Concordia University, with an expected graduation in 2026. I completed the coursework component with a GPA of 3.94 and am now working on my research thesis under the supervision of Dr. Ali Ayub.

My thesis work focuses on personalized AI systems that can adapt from limited demonstrations and reason under uncertainty. More specifically, I study personalized object rearrangement, where an assistant must learn a user’s preferences from a few examples, choose suitable placements for household objects, and abstain when an object should not be placed or when the available context is too uncertain. This connects continual learning, efficient personalization, uncertainty estimation, and LLM-assisted reasoning.

Throughout this program, I have had the opportunity to deepen my technical knowledge in artificial intelligence by completing advanced courses such as Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and Conversational AI, taught by leading experts in the field. I’ve been able to put this knowledge into practice in projects such as those showcased in the dedicated Projects section.

In addition to theoretical concepts, I have also focused on acquiring strong practical skills. This includes proficiency in Java programming, data structures, software engineering best practices, and unit testing, all essential for designing and building robust, efficient, and maintainable software systems.

During a week, I had the privilege of participating in the European Space Agency (ESA) Academy program, “Ladybird Guide to Spacecraft Telecommunication,” hosted by Mr. David Evans. The program provided an in-depth exploration of the entire telecommunications chain, with a particular focus on ESA’s approach to ground operations and mission control.

Throughout the week, we engaged in hands-on activities, including controlling several satellite passes through a simulator. The program culminated in a challenging group project where we prepared a satellite de-orbitation plan while managing an onboard anomaly. We also visited the Redu station, where we gained insight into missions like PROBA and GALILEO through expert presentations.

One of the highlights of the program was participating in a live satellite pass monitored by the OPS-SAT team based in Darmstadt. During this session, we had the opportunity to send commands to the satellite and capture images of Earth, including stunning views of Australia.

This experience significantly deepened my understanding of spacecraft telecommunication and operations.

In September 2023, I had the incredible opportunity to study abroad in Tokyo, spending five months balancing academics with immersing myself in the fascinating culture of Japan. During my time in class, I attended courses such as Image Processing, Sustainable Engineering, and Basic Japanese Language. Beyond the classroom, I explored a unique culture, diverse ways of life, and perspectives that deepened my understanding of global diversity. This experience has reinforced my determination to work in a multicultural environment, where different mindsets and approaches come together to drive innovation and collaboration.

The Institut Polytechnique des Sciences Avancées (IPSA) is a recognised and rapidly growing engineering school specialising in the fields of aeronautics and space. IPSA has quickly gained prominence and was ranked 5th in the 2024 ranking of aeronautical engineering schools in France.

During my studies at IPSA Toulouse, I trained in aeronautical systems before specialising in embedded systems and telecommunications. This education provided me with a strong foundation in technical disciplines such as applied mathematics, programming, signal processing, data science… Additionally, IPSA’s curriculum emphasized the humanities, allowing me to gain valuable insights into areas like environmental ethics, cosmology, management, and team leadership. I have also been introduced to advanced topics such as GNSS or intelligent distributed systems, which I am eager to explore further in the future. This well-rounded training equipped me with the technical expertise and interpersonal skills necessary to address complex challenges in the aeronautics and aerospace industries.

I started with a two-year preparatory course at IPSA. During these years, I acquired a solid foundation in mathematics, physics and electronics, which prepared me for the engineering degree. Thanks to its integrated approach, the courses and projects were constantly oriented towards aerospace fields. I was also able to take part in projects such as building a glider simulator or air crash investigations.
