I recently graduated with a PhD from KAUST in Saudi Arabia, focusing on the mathematical foundations of AI.

I will soon start my postdoctoral position in Lausanne, Switzerland.

Outside of research, I enjoy good conversations, trying local food, and wandering through cities without a fixed plan. I’m a curious and open-minded person, and I like hearing about how people live in different parts of the world.

I was born in Armenia—a small country, but you’ll find Armenians almost everywhere. I am always surprised by how many of us I encounter when I travel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m on CS because I like meeting locals when I travel. It’s always more interesting to hear about a place from someone who lives there, and they usually know a few hidden spots worth checking out. I also enjoy meeting other travelers and chatting about where they’ve been.
