Hello

I’m Ahmed — an AI PhD researcher and academic staff member at the Munich Institute of Robotics and Machine Intelligence, Technical University of Munich. I develop brain-inspired AI systems, with proven experience building AI-driven healthcare solutions. My multidisciplinary background spans Machine Learning, Data Science, Digital Systems, and Neuroengineering. I hold an Elite MSc in Neuroengineering from TUM, where I graduated with honours and was awarded the Research Excellence Certificate by the Elite Network of Bavaria, along with two merit-based scholarships. My passion lies in reverse-engineering the brain to create next-generation intelligent machines, advance neural interface technologies, and restore impaired neural functions. I aim to bridge AI and neuroscience to build intelligent systems that drive biomedical innovation and shape the future of healthcare.
