I am an Associate Professor of Mathematics at the Faculty of Science at Saint Joseph University of Beirut (USJ). From 2012 to 2019, I served as Chairperson of the Department of Mathematics, during which time I established both a Bachelor's and a Master's degree in Data Science. Currently, I coordinate the Master’s degree in Actuarial Science and Finance. Since May 2024, I also serve as the Director of the Center of Statistics at the Vice-Rectorate for Research at USJ.

Engineering and Technology, Sciences
+ Research topics
My research focuses on numerical probabilities and stochastic simulations, with a particular interest in Monte Carlo methods. These methods are essential for solving complex problems in various fields such as finance, engineering, and physical sciences by enabling precise estimations through random modeling and simulation techniques. My work contributes to the improvement of Monte Carlo algorithms, thereby optimizing their efficiency and applications.
