Born in Cairo in 1945, from the window of my room at 12 I could see the Nile and in the distance the pyramids of Giza. From my window today I see Lake Geneva and the mountains. These changing windows, these moving interior landscapes, but a permanent quest: knowledge.

Mathematician, lecturer at EPFL in Lausanne, member of the Brazilian commission for the advancement of science, author in 2002 of "Spyridon's quest", in 2013 of "The computer will not digest the brain" and in 2015 "The Relativistic Brain" in collaboration with Miguel Nicolelis, in 2016 following a cardiac surgery intervention by "Narcoses, Dances with the Unreal" and in 2018 of "Memoirs of Cairo" tracing the history of his family in Egypt and his departure following the events of 1956 in Lausanne in Switzerland.

In 2018, in collaboration with Miguel Nicolelis, he founded Aurora Neurodevices Ltd, which aims to spread treatments for neurological diseases from Professor Nicolelis' laboratories in particular for Parkinson's and rehabilitation.

It is what occupies our minds today that becomes our reality of tomorrow. “
