My name is Malak Mahdy and I am a Computer Science student at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi graduating Fall 2025.
I have a clear goal of pursuing a Ph.D. in Computer Science and building a career in academia, to educate future generations of computer scientists and contribute to research. This ambition has shaped my experiences and guided my academic journey.
I am currently conducting research on autonomous artificial intelligence agents for secure computer task automation. I am also participating in my third REU at UNLV.
Outside of research, I build personal projects, and partake in NSF-funded training in mechatronics and robotics.
