About Nadim

Welcome! 

Nadim here, my time on this planet is dedicated to ensuring people can live a free of mind and fulfilling life.

To do so, I’m committed to solving some problems that, if not tackled, will give humanity more than something to be worried about in the future.

Most of the time I work at the Italian National Institute of Nuclear Physics (INFN)  and European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), this way I can share the search for truth on why we do exist with thousands more people on the planet.

By pursuing this treasure hunt at the LHCb (CERN experiment), we are also able to develop new imaging technologies to detect and treat tumours and cancer among countless additional intriguing applications.

Diagnostic applications of fundamental research – High School Conference – Lecco (Italy) – 2018

The rest of my time is divided between my constant studies, a couple of long-term projects to improve the way we live, and giving conference talks to High School students about the importance of their interests and decisions. This way, I hope to show them new opportunities and to inspire their will to pursue a great goal in one of a kind lifetime.
