About
Hi, I’m Eslam Sharaawy — an AI Researcher, Data Scientist, and Machine Learning Developer based in Germany. My work focuses on scientific machine learning, computer vision, probabilistic modeling, generative AI, and foundation models for engineering and real-world systems. With a background in mechanical engineering and a Master’s degree in Computational Science, I combine strong mathematical, statistical, and programming skills with practical experience in applied AI.
I have worked on projects ranging from few-shot object detection for rare automotive defects and battery health prediction to hydrological modeling, digital twins, and physics-informed neural networks. I enjoy transforming complex technical challenges into reliable, data-driven solutions that connect research, engineering, and practical impact.
Beyond research and coding, I’m driven by curiosity, continuous learning, and creativity — whether I’m exploring new AI methods, building useful tools, or experimenting in the kitchen.
