About Me

Who Am I?

I'm Mahdy M., a master's student in Electrical Communication Engineering at the University of Kassel with a software-oriented engineering profile, focusing on communication systems, applied electromagnetics, and computational modeling, and practical software development.

My journey began with a Silver Medal in Iran's National Physics Olympiad, which earned me recognition from the Iran National Elites Foundation. Since then, I've been drawn to work where mathematics, electromagnetics, and software meet: from C#/.NET/WPF tooling in my bachelor thesis to Python and C++ workflows for simulation, visualization, and automation.

I'm preparing for myMaster's Thesis (2026)by building validated simulation projects and documenting them with short blog write-ups, full reports, and reproducible code in the corresponding GitHub repositories.
