Biography

I received my diploma in Computer and Communication Engineering from the American University of Beirut in 2012. From September 2012 to August 2018 I was a doctoral assistant at EPFL. My PhD thesis, entitled Learning with Structured Sparsity: From Discrete to Convex and Back was supervised by Prof. Volkan Cevher.
