Welcome to my tiny corner of the internet! I’m Ahmed, I work on optimization and machine learning. I’m a first-year Ph.D. student in the ECE department at Princeton University. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering from Cairo University, Egypt.
Before joining Princeton, I was fortunate to intern in the group of Prof. Peter Richtárik at KAUST in the summers of 2019/2020, where I worked on the distributed & stochastic optimization. Prior to this, I did some (applied) research on accelerating the training of neural networks with Prof. Amir Atiya.
