Bio

I am a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Department of Mathematics at North Carolina State University, where I work under the supervision of Professor Lorena Bociu. I received my Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from the University of Waterloo under the supervision of Professor Kirsten Morris, where my research was focused on controller and observer design for a class of partial differential-algebraic equations. I also hold an M.Sc. in Mathematics from Kuwait University and a B.Sc. in Mathematics with a minor in Physics.

My research interests include state-space theory, dynamical systems, optimization, control theory and partial differential equations. I work on problems involving well-posedness, optimization,  controller and observer designs, and parameter identification, with applications to poroelasticity, biological systems, batteries, and fluid dynamics. My work combines theoretical analysis with computational tools such as COMSOL Multiphysics, MATLAB, and Python.

I have published in journals and conferences including Automatica, Advances in Difference Equations, the American Control Conference, and the Conference on Decision and Control, and I regularly serve as a peer reviewer for journals such as Automatica, IEEE Control Systems Letters, Systems & Control Letters, and for major control conferences.

I am grateful to have received several distinctions, including the 2025 TriCAMS Best Poster Award, multiple conference travel awards, the Provost Doctoral Entrance Award for Women, and the University of Waterloo Senate Graduate Scholarship.
