Theoretical physics PhD researcher at Mohammed V University studying the CFT Distance Conjecture and its connection to critical string theory.
MoroccoWhat I'm looking for
At Mohammed V University, I’m studying the CFT Distance Conjecture and its connection to critical string theory through literature study and mathematical analysis.
My master’s thesis at Hassan II University of Casablanca investigated nonlocal structures in gauge theories, including intertwiner operators and connections between loop-level structures and string-theory descriptions.
For a QCD project, I simulated proton-proton collisions with PYTHIA and analysed cross sections and event-generation behaviour using ROOT and Python-based tools.
I also developed a personal AI assistant using local large language models through Ollama, experimenting with desktop automation, natural-language interaction, and modular functionality.
