Despite having been fascinated by mathematics from a young age, it was only later in life that I realized one can be a mathematician as their job, or indeed what a mathematician even is. Along my journey, I had excellent mentorship from countless people, a privilege many people don’t have. I hope to repay this kindness by sharing my passion with young aspiring mathematicians from all backgrounds.
I held some roles in community/outreach organizations, including
- University of Oregon’s AWM Student Chapter:
- Vice president 2025-2026
- Member of K-12 Committee 2024-2026
- Member of the Speaker Series Committee 2023-2026
- University of Oregon’s AMS Student Chapter Diversity chair 2024-2025
Here are some of the community outreach experiences I was part of in the past:
Girls’ Science Adventure Program (2025, 2026)
In the K-12 committee of the University of Oregon’s AWM Student Chapter, every year we organize a day of fun mathematics stations to teach elementary school girls about beautiful mathematics . I was an organizer/station manager for this program in 2025 and 2026.

Every winter at the University of Oregon, hundreds of kids and their parents come to experience the joy of mathematics. We put together 50+ stations to teach/play different mathematical activities ranging from sound and waves, to knot theory and doodling. I was an organizer/station manager in the Math Festivals of 2024 and 2026.
Contact the main organizer/founder of the festival Maria Nemirovskaya to join us next year!
Cairo Undergraduate Summer Workshops
Together with Hussein Olama, we organized two workshops that brought together undergraduate students from various Egyptian Universities to learn more advanced mathematics topics.
So far, we had two successful workshops:
We hope to continue this tradition in the future!
Directed Reading Program
I was the mentor to 4 undergraduate students in a reading program where we read a piece of mathematics not typically encountered in standard undergraduate programs. After 10 weeks of reading, the students then do a presentation on the topic to their peers in a fun day of pizza and math. The topics I supervised so far were
- Diophantine Approximations and Transcendental Numbers, 2024
- Combinatorial Game Theory and Surreal Numbers, 2025
- Lie Groups and Lie Algebras in the Foundations of Quantum Field Theory, 2025
I am always excited about teaching roles in various mentorship programs, summer schools, etc., so if you are looking for someone to fill such a role in your program, send me an email :)
