I studied away at NYU Abu Dhabi for the second semester of my sophomore year. This experience allowed me to improve my skills in adapting to different cultures and working with people from different backgrounds. This difference in culture is most visible to me during the month of Ramanda, where most of my classmates starts to fast and that makes me understand that faith is really important part of their life. It also gives me the opportunity to reflect on my own culture and how it influences my actions as things I once considered to be the norm are no longer the case.
I participated in the Global Tech Experience course. In this course, I learned how to better communicate and interact with other people from a different cultural background and also allows me to put what I learnt into practice by giving me the opportunity to work with people from other parts of the world.

Uploaded notes for Moses Center
Leaves collected during Leaf No Trace
I worked as a notetaker for NYU's Moses Center for Student Accessibility. This gives me the opportunity to help other students who are impacted by personal circumstances and cannot attend lectures.
I also volunteered at Fort Greene Park Conservancy, which maintains the Fort Greene Park in Boorklyn. I helped to clean the fallen leafs and remove rubbish in the park during the Leaf No Trace event.
I was a member of the Academic Affairs Committee I worked on subjects such as financial transparency in course materials and learned to see things from different perspectives and to explore what people really feels rather than what I think they feels.
I am also the president for NYU's Robosub VIP team, which works on creating an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV). I created a detailed timeline to ensure we finishes our project on time and have discussion with people falling behind to help them and keep everyone on track.

Testing the adversarial patch

I was a student researcher in NYUAD's Center for Cybersecurity. My research was on adversarial machine learning, which is attacking machine learning frameworks to make them give the wrong prediction. In this role, I help wrote the paper "DAP: A Dynamic Adversarial Patch for Evading Person Detectors", of which I am the second author.
I was a member of NYU RoboSub team that builds an autonomous underwater vehicle. I help developed the program to control the robot as part of the motion team. This experience developed my teamwork skills as we work in groups to solve various tasks.
I got the Certified in Cybersecurity certificate from ISC2. I learned more about the cybersecurity industry from the course I took for this certificate. This certificate also helps me to access more resources from ISC2 and can help me start my career in this field.
I also worked as software engineering intern in the startup commany 10Clear. During the internship, I worked on creating a software that uses AI to verify financial statements. Through this internship, I gained the crucial knowledge of working on software projects in the real world with other engineers.
I attended the 2025 WACV conference in Arizona. I learned about the current direction of computer vision research, with popular research areas being attention mechanism and CLIP architecture.
