Bio

I am an international student from Jordan studying Biomedical Engineering at Elon University. I went to a boarding school for all my high school and earned a full scholarship to attend Elon University as part of the Jordanian delegation for the years 2020-2024. I am mostly interested in brain-computer interface and cardiology biotechnology research. I am currently submitting a research proposal to the school to obtain funding to perform undergraduate research on BCI! When I am not geeking about science, I am probably geeking about movies. I directed small short Arabic movies back home and acted in a couple of them. I took a couple of film studies courses and wrote multiple research papers about Hollywood's golden age of cinema specifically.

- Elon University King Hussein Scholarship Recipient: A competitive full scholarship awarded to one Jordanian every four years to attend Elon University.
