Bio

I am a Master student in Visual Computing at the Saarland University currently doing my Thesis at DFKI Saarbrücken on tracking of reaction-fronts in microscale combustion experiments. I have 5+ years of experience mainly working with Python on projects in industry and academia. I am interested in classical and deep learning-based approaches to computer vision, image processing, and computer graphics.

Languages

I like learning languages. Apart from my mother language German and English, I speak fluent French, Spanish and Lebanese Arabic.

Sports

I'm into strength training. I've built my own home gym with a power rack, adjustable bench and various bar- and dumbbells. I'm currently training 4 times a week.

Cooking

I like to cook Levantine food. I'm pretty decent at making Hummus, Foul and different grilled items.

Humanities

I'm interested in the philosophy and history of liberalism. I especially like the works of Friedrich Hayek.

Projects

  • Project 1

    Rendering Competition rendering-comp

    Implemented a ray tracer in C++ with additional postprocessing and other features. Created a scene in Blender and rendered it with our own ray tracer.

  • Project 2

    Inpainting Detection inpaint-detect

    We created a data-generation pipeline that leverages Facebook AI's Segment Anything model to cut out semantically meaningful parts of images and inpaint them with Stable Diffusion. We then trained a classifier on the dataset to decide if an image contained inpainted regions.

  • Project 3

    Neural Network rendering-comp

    Implemented a fully connected neural network in Python from scratch with backpropagation and gradient descent. The networks depth and width can be adjusted by the user.
