Maria Latifa Benkhelifa

I’m Maria Latifa Benkhelifa, a highest honors graduate in Applied Mathematics and Statistics from Khalifa University, with a passion for AI, data science, and using technology for good. I’m a Certified Artificial Intelligence Practitioner (CAIP) and a proud graduate of the Women in AI program by the Al Ghurair Foundation, where I co-developed BookBuddy AI—an intelligent Arabic reading assistant designed to help children interact with books more meaningfully.

I worked as a research assistant at Khalifa University, where I contributed to a collaborative research project with AlRamz Capital focused on modeling the probability distribution of call options and supporting algorithmic trading strategies. I’m also deeply involved in youth and sustainability initiatives, including the Future Sustainability Leaders program by Masdar and the Young AI Leaders program by AI for Good.

I believe in building solutions that create real impact, especially across education, sustainability, and digital inclusion in the Arab world.
