I worked in the Quantum Optics and Statistics group. I applied mean-field theory and higher-order cumulant expansions to describe the theoretical regime of weak coupling and strong driving in large ensembles. These experiences greatly enhanced my research skills and taught me to approach problems from diverse perspectives.

Throughout this year-long commitment, I honed my expertise in performing numerical calculations and simulations using Python. This opportunity not only enhanced my computational skills but also enriched my comprehension of the synergistic interplay between theoretical and experimental approaches. Overcoming challenges, such as providing theoretical explanations for experimental observations, further strengthened my problem-solving abilities.

The Coalition of Syrian Women for Democracy is a Syrian civil group that aims to defend women’s rights as full citizens. They work to eliminate all forms of discrimination and violence against women and strive to include these rights in the Syrian constitution, based on the principle of full equality among all citizens

I completed my Master’s thesis in the Quantum Optics and Statistics group. My research focused on exploring the quantum effects in open non-Markovian spin systems. To address this research problem, I employed a combination of analytical and numerical methods, enabling me to derive solutions for system behavior in the strong coupling regime.
