I am a fourth-year PhD student in Medical Engineering and Medical Physics at the Harvard-MIT Program in Health Sciences and Technology, advised by Elazer Edelman and Farhad Nezami. I have a M.Sc in Bioengineering from EPFL and a dual bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering and Physics from the American University in Cairo.
I am interested in integrating generative models of 3D anatomic shape with computational simulators of medical devices to understand how anatomic form impacts interventional outcomes. More specifically I focus on equipping diffusion models with geometric and topological control mechanisms to edit patient-specific anatomy and create digital siblings. Simulating both patient and sibling enables clinical researchers and device designers to find counterfactual shape features that causally influence simulated device outcomes, leading to safer and more effective medical devices.
