About me

Engineering precision.
Human purpose.

I bridge biomedical engineering and artificial intelligence to solve challenging problems in medical imaging.

After earning my bachelor’s in Systems and Biomedical Engineering from Cairo University, I completed a fully funded master’s in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science at Sejong University. My work explores dependable brain tumor segmentation, MRI synthesis, domain adaptation, and learning from limited or imperfect clinical data.
