Bio

I am currently pursuing my doctoral degree in Mechanical Engineering. I used to worked as computational fluid dynamics engineer. I was also a researcher at the Breast Cancer Informatics Group (BCI) led by Professor Michael Hallett at McGill University. During my masters and undergraduate studies, I was a member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and visited Vancouver to participate in an international competition organized by ASME. I have also taken leading roles in various community service groups in my home town Zouk Mikael in Lebanon.

I'm passionate about

Living and laughing, simply enjoying... Meeting new people, networking, sharing ideas and experience... Traveling, visiting and discovering new places around the world... Creating, appreciating and observing miniature works of art and tiny handcrafts. Volunteering, contributing to and enriching my society. Anthropology, astronomy, astrophysics, physics, chemistry, poetry, ...

An idea worth spreading

What is life for if not to be lived to its fullest? Today, smile, recognize the beauty around you, and be grateful for the world is full of wonders... Be always ready to be amazed!
