About me

I’m an engineer. In July 2026 I graduated with a Diplôme d’Ingénieur d’État in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence from the École Nationale des Sciences Appliquées in Safi (Cadi Ayyad University).The routeThe Moroccan grande école path is a competitive and prestigious route into engineering: two years of classes préparatoires, then three years of engineering, with no degree awarded in between, ending in the Diplôme d’Ingénieur d’État. I have strong foundations in applied mathematics and computer science with a passion for machine and deep learning. I’m currently open to PhD positions. My research interest is broadly deep learning, and more particularly NLP, computer vision, multimodal learning, multilingual models, speech technologies and reinforcement learning.

Alongside my previous studies, I contributed to training and deploying translation, speech recognition and speech synthesis models for Mooré, a low-resource language with over 7 million speakers and very little data.The 5-LOX workIn this work we trained a hybrid quantum-classical variational autoencoder that generates small molecules able to act on 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX), an enzyme involved in many inflammatory diseases. Several of the molecules it generated showed better binding affinity and drug-like properties than zileuton, the only approved direct inhibitor. Most recently, from March to August 2026, as a Mitacs Globalink research intern, I worked on hybrid quantum-classical generative modelling for the de novo design of 5-lipoxygenase inhibitors (for the treatment of inflammatory diseases) at the Université de Moncton (Canada).
