Hi! I'm Faheem, a Bioengineering and Mathematics sophomore at NYU Abu Dhabi, curious about computational biology and mathematics.
One of my favourite hobbies is photography and capturing the vibrant life around Abu Dhabi. Photography is a another way to see patterns, composition, and beauty in the world around us.
My journey in science began with a deep fascination for how things work at the most fundamental level. This curiosity has led me through exciting research experiences across three countries - from analyzing cortical dynamics in Cambridge to developing image processing pipelines in Prague.
Currently, I'm exploring how machine learning can revolutionize our understanding of biophysical systems, combining my love for mathematics with cutting-edge computational techniques. What excites me most is how ML algorithms can automate image analysis in cellular studies, making discoveries that would be impossible with traditional methods alone.
Another hobby of mine is football (it's my favorite way to unwind!), or exploring Dubai and Abu Dhabi through my lens. I love how both science and photography require patience, precision, and a good eye for detail.
