Overview

I am a diligent and intellectually curious individual, currently pursuing a doctoral degree in the cutting-edge field of blockchains. My academic journey has taken me across borders, as I hail from both Switzerland and Lebanon and am setting my sights on Paris after living in 6 cities in 4 countries. Despite my diverse backgrounds, I have found a common ground in the pursuit of knowledge, driven by a thirst for understanding the intricacies of decentralized systems and their implications for the future.

Curiosity

A scientist is just a kid who never grew up.
– Neil DeGrasse Tyson

My curiosity spans across a wide range of disciplines. With a strong foundation in mathematics and computer science, I possess the analytical tools to delve into complex systems and unravel intricate patterns. My interest in economics reflects my fascination with the interplay between human behavior, incentives, and resource allocation.

Furthermore, my curiosity extends to the realms of law and political science where I seek to explore the structures and dynamics that shape societies, govern human interactions, and influence decision-making processes.
