I am a student (he/him) at the Chemistry Department of the École normale supérieure, an institution part of PSL University. I am mainly interested in research at the interface between chemistry and biology, with a specific focus on biomimicry. With this perspective, I am currently pursuing the Chemistry & Life Sciences track of the Master's degree in Chemistry at PSL University.

My first name is pronounced /lAYt/ phonetically ([ˈleɪt] in the International Phonetic Alphabet). It is an Arabic name spelled as ليث.
