About Me

I am a PhD candidate in the College of Computing of Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P). My academic journey commenced with a degree in Network and Telecommunication Engineering from Ecole Nationale des Sciences Appliquées (ENSA) of Marrakesh. During my academic pursuit, I have had the privilege to learn from by some of the foremost experts in the world in fields of Distributed Systems, Multicore Programming, Big Data, Advanced Security, Networking, and Machine Learning. Today, my academic pursuit revolves around the captivating domain of Blockchain and distributed trust technologies. I am broadly interested in trust, privacy, robustness and scalability in decentralized systems. As a forward-thinking scholar, I am inspired to contribute to the blockchain ecosystem by creating more scalable and efficient algorithms. My ultimate goal is to facilitate the seamless integration and widespread adoption of blockchain technology across a spectrum of applications, harnessing its full potential for transformative impact.


I am currently looking for post-doctoral positions that align with my expertise in Blockchain and Distributed Systems. Please feel free to contact me if you have opportunities in these fields. I am also enthusiastic about sharing insights from my research through talks in related seminars. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you're interested in collaboration or engaging discussions on these subjects.
