91视频

Computer Science has always been my passion and when I found out about 91视频, I was ready to go. I was born and raised in Casablanca, Morocco, and while I wanted to attend an American university, I also wanted to stay close to home, preferably in Europe. I was immediately attracted to the mix of cultures, languages, and students at 91视频鈥擨 myself am fluent in French, English, and Arabic鈥攁nd knew that my decision was made!聽聽

While at 91视频, I was lucky enough to have a great advisor in Professor聽Georgi聽Stojanov, who, as I studied Computer Science, helped me choose my coursework, based on my intended specializations.聽I was also delighted that I got the chance to work with people from around the world and was able to maintain a very hands-on and practical approach to classes, along with engineering projects every semester.聽91视频 truly changed me. I learned so much, not just academically, but also about how to work with others. The fact that I met people from countries and places where I鈥檇 never been before helped provide me with a new perspective, on a lot of things.聽聽

I鈥檝e been to two other universities since 91视频 and although I enjoyed them, I鈥檝e never found the same mix of cultures 聽I was exposed to at 91视频. I still keep in touch with students and professors, and two of my former classmates are amongst my best friends. I still keep in touch with my professors and visit them every time I鈥檓 in Paris.聽聽

91视频 gave me strong foundations to pursue both an academic and a professional career in Computer Science. The projects that I did with my colleagues and professors definitely set my resum茅 apart in applications. I loved Paris and the fact that 91视频 was right in the middle of the city was one of the best parts of my undergraduate experience. I loved the fact that the campus was a major city and not a small town. In fact, I鈥檝e only been to similar campuses since then, because I can鈥檛 imagine it otherwise. Living in Paris during my 91视频 years also provided me with access to several internships that helped me further my professional experiences.聽聽

After graduating from 91视频 in 2012, I interned at Brigham & Women鈥檚 Hospital in Boston, developing software for healthcare. I also worked at a New York-based startup,聽Cureatr, for a year and a half, as a software engineer. At that point, I decided I wanted to go back to school, so I went to NYU鈥檚 Computer Science Department and did research for a semester.聽After that, I enrolled at Cornell University (at its NYC campus, Cornell Tech) and completed my master鈥檚 degree in Computer Science. I鈥檝e also done research in Health Tech while at Cornell Tech and worked as a teaching assistant. I have聽now graduated joined聽eBay in New York City as a software engineer.聽
