Predicting In-Game Spending Behaviour Using Machine Learning — MSc thesis, Kedge Business School, supervised by Dr. Tianyuan Zhang. Five public datasets, 50,000+ players and 52,000 games. Thirteen classifiers all performed at chance (ROC AUC 0.48–0.52) — but the same pipeline hit 0.95 ROC AUC on genuine game-level catalogues, showing the signal is missing from the data rather than from the phenomenon. Revenue Gini of 0.87, with the top 1% of payers generating 39% of revenue. → Read the thesis
The Impact of Renewable Energy Adoption on Economic Growth — econometrics paper, Department of Economics, The American University in Cairo, supervised by Dr. Mina Ayad. Panel of 7 countries, 1990–2023, 238 country-year observations. Under 2SLS, a one-unit rise in the renewable share is associated with a 1.44pp reduction in GDP per capita growth (p = 0.029) — a short-run result that argues for sequencing the energy transition, not slowing it. → Paper · Stata do-file · Dataset
