She has a BSc in Physics and Mathematics, and completed an internship focused on water security in Alexis Nakoda Sioux Nation. This experience provided her with insights into the challenges of water management, giving her a deep appreciation for working with the Indigenous community.

As a research assistant at the University of Alberta, Samiha initiated a project inspired by Plateau’s Problem, exploring the interactions of surface tension and electrostatic forces through soap film catenoids. This sharpened her research, data analysis, and collaborative skills working alongside technicians and researchers.
