Biography

Preferred Pronouns: He/Him

I'm from Ariana, Tunisia. I graduated in 2023 with a B.A. in Astrophysics and Math from Williams College, where I wrote a thesis on the plausibility of spatially variable turbulence in Protoplanetary disks. I spent the following year as a Post-baccalaureate RA at NASA Goddard working on grid-based retrievals of variable stellar models for Planetary Infrared Excess (PIE), as well as the Exoplanet Modeling and Analysis Center (EMAC). I'm also active with the Tunisian Space Association's (TUNSA) Astrophysics team. I'm excited to continue working on planetary science and planet formation as I pursue my PhD at UChicago.
