I am a high school student passionate about bioinformatics, biomathematics, and using science for social impact. My work blends rigorous research with community-driven innovation. I won 2nd place in Behavioral and Social Sciences at ISEF 2024 for a neurotech project that uses frequency-based sound stimulation to reduce panic attacks in real time. My research on DNA sequencing and gene editing was published in the Journal of Young Physicists. As a co-founder of the Think Tank Project, I’ve introduced students from five countries to AI and bioinformatics, mentoring them through scientific writing and publication under my subproject, EgyGene. I also developed a smart water filtration system using Arduino and ESP32 sensors, building on earlier fieldwork in Mozambique to create natural filters for underserved communities. A TechGirls alumna, I value intercultural collaboration and believe science is a shared language. I’m currently studying in Xi'an, China, exploring innovations in science and history.
