Karl El-Azar

Interests

Since I was young my love for inventions and technological advancements hasnt stopped. That was the main reason I chose mechanical engineering as my first choice. After successfully completing 2 undergraduate years at the American University of Beirut, I realized that I was more passionate about management and operations research, so I applied for a transfer to Industrial Engineering. However, the situation in Lebanon was not stable and I applied for a transfer abroad.

When I was still in Lebanon, I used to attend all the conferences given at the Talal and Madiha Zein AUB-Innovation Park. These conferences not only helped me acquire shared experiences of important entrepreneurs; but also, generated new desires in me to work for the improvements in our world.

As I am experiencing more of this life, the idea of making the world a better place is growing day by day. I am a highly motivated student; I started my professional career as a founder of a casual sportswear line. What I enjoy most is watching my ideas take shape and eventually come to life.
