I started my academic journey by obtaining a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Pure Mathematics from the Lebanese University in Beirut, Lebanon in 2012 and 2013 respectively. Following this, I obtained a Master's degree in Mathematics and Applications at the Université de Rennes 1 in Rennes, France, in 2014, after being awarded an excellence scholarship from France. Finally, I completed my Ph.D. in Mathematics from the Université de Bretagne Occidentale in Brest, France, in 2017, with a focus on "Optimality conditions for optimal control problems and applications." After completing my Ph.D., I gained diverse professional experience in teaching and research across various worldwide institutions. In teaching, I worked as a teaching assistant at the Université de Bretagne Occidentale in Brest, France in 2017, where I taught, in French, vector calculus and complex analysis. Following this, I worked as a teaching assistant at the Université de Paris Nanterre from 2017 to 2018, where I lectured, in French, topics such as Statistics and Optimization. In 2021-2022 and 2023-2024, I have lectured on Numerical Methods and Algebra in Portuguese at the Electrical Engineering Department at Porto University in Portugal. More recently, I have been an invited teaching assistant at Católica Business School in Porto teaching statistics. In research, I worked as a research assistant at the Université de Paris Nanterre from 2017 to 2018, where I investigated control systems featuring uncertainties, with applications to aerospace engineering. In 2018, I moved to Portugal and worked as a postdoctoral research fellow at the Department of Electrical Engineering at the Universidade do Porto, where I explored computational methods to solve optimal control problems subject to constraints and applying it to autonomous underwater vehicles. Since then, I have been working as a researcher at the same department, in areas related to control theory, optimal control, computational methods, and designing control techniques for application in tourism and agriculture. My research has resulted in significant contributions to the field of mathematics by publishing a wide range of research papers, including a doctoral thesis and over 22 articles in peer-reviewed journals and conferences. In addition to my publications, I have also actively shared my research with the wider academic community by presenting at various international conferences. I was invited to speak at more than 10 congresses, and I gave presentations at more than 14 other conferences. Over the past years, I have also established a strong reputation in the academic community for my contributions to research, particularly through my involvement in visiting positions and mentoring. In international mobility, between September 2015 and June 2016, I was a visiting Ph.D. student at the Università di Padova in Italy, working on a new class of state-constrained control systems. In December 2019, during a collaboration stay as an invited researcher at Université de Bretagne Occidentale in Brest, France, I co-led a research project studying models taking into account uncertainties and state constraints. Furthermore, between October 2022 and January 2023, during a stay at the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana in Mexico City, I played a leading role in a collaborative project on sweeping process problems subject to mixed constraints. Additionally, in February 2023, I was an invited lecturer at a PhD program for control theory at the Indian Institute of Technology in Mumbai, India. More recently, in May 2024, I was again invited to Université de Bretagne Occidentale in Brest, France to kick-start joint projects between Porto and Brest, with the aim to exchange PhD students between the two universities. In mentoring, I am a supervisor of 2 master students on a project of airborne wind energy at FEUP, and a co-supervisor to 2 PhD students on a project of optimal control and applications in agriculture.
