👋 I’m a PhD student in computer science at KAUST, working with Prof. Marco Canini at SANDS Lab. My current focus is AutoResearch — I’m building idea2paper.org to accelerate scientific discovery through agentic tools. Previously, I worked on distributed machine learning systems, including gradient compression, KV-Cache optimization, and efficient GPU communication for LLM training and inference.
