PhD Student at UIUC
Hi, my name is Farouk! I am a second year PhD student at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign in the CS theory group . I am lucky to be co-advised by Sariel Har-Peled and Chandra Chekuri . I enjoy thinking about recreational math and combinatorial optimization problems. In my free time, I enjoy creating Youtube videos about problem solving.
I did my undergrad in The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology where I was fortunate to work with Mordecai Golin and Raymond Chi-Wing Wong .
