short biography
I am a master’s student at Nanotechnology. My research focuses on computational materials science, specifically utilizing Density Functional Theory (DFT) and machine learning-accelerated simulations to explore hydrogen storage in metal hydrides. I hold a B.Sc. in Chemistry with honors from Suez University. My previous work includes investigating defect-engineered perovskites for optoelectronic and catalytic performance, as well as the thermodynamic engineering of nanocages for energy storage. I am a recipient of the Study Abroad Excellence Award and won first place in Egypt’s national "Genius" academic competition.
