I am a PhD student at the physics department at the American University of Beirut. I completed my bachelor degree in physics, and then did my master’s degree on general relativity. Currently, I am working on two dimensional swarms. I study two agent based models and the states that are emergent in each model. I am interested in understanding why certain states occur, self-organization, stability of the states, phase transitions in the parameters space, and dependence on initial conditions (basins of attraction). Since i come from a very small department where i basically work in isolation, I am looking forward to a lot of discussions that will allow me to relate my research to applications in other fields of study.
