I earned my PhD in Applied Mathematics from Wichita State University under the supervision of Dr. Catherine Searle. I received my bachelors and masters in Mathematics from Birzeit University . My primary area of research is in differential geometry and algebraic topology, with a focus on Zp-torus actions on manifolds with positive sectional curvature. I am particularly interested in the study of symmetry and discrete abelian group actions on positively curved manifolds, as a means of classifying them.
