Physics and Computer Science
I was born in Egypt, however I grew up here in the Lehigh Valley. I went to Emmaus High School where I really developed my passion for math and science, which lead to me majoring in Physics and Computer Science here at Lehigh. I love playing and watching soccer. Plus, I am a huge Disney Park fan!
The Eckardt Program has given me a unique opportunity that not many of my fellow peers have had. By focusing on my major and setting aside the general requirements, it freed up time for me to try out different things and find specifics areas of study that I wanted to pursue further. To that end, the program has supported my endeavors in pursuing research that I’m interested in. Overall, the I’m grateful to have been a part of the Eckardt program because it has provided me an opportunity to pursue my true passions.
