Hello everyone, my name is Omar Shehab. By profession I am a quantum computer scientist, working on quantum algorithms, computational complexity, and the physics of information. Beyond research, I am also an occasional startup investor in the AI and national security space, which gives me a front-row view of emerging technologies and the strategic questions they raise.
I’m joining this forum because I would like to collaborate with screenwriters as a science consultant. My aim is to help integrate scientific accuracy and technological foresight into storytelling—whether that means grounding narratives in real quantum mechanics, designing futuristic AI or defense technologies that feel authentic, or exploring the ethical and societal implications of innovation.
I believe the dialogue between science, technology, and storytelling can create powerful, thought-provoking narratives. I look forward to contributing my perspective and learning how writers transform complex ideas into human stories.

Hello Omar, Thats a very discriptive and well writen intro. I am a novelette and screen writer/director. Now working on the second of a book series called 'The Orion Belt Conspiracy' I will not go into details right now but this second of the series of three, involves explanations to the hero's of the story, about space,time and space travel - in terms that are understandable to the layman, and 'factual' as we know them to date. I am not seeking to make this into a film at this time/. Would be interested in chatting . Cheers from Vancouver Canada .

That sounds really cool. I have 2 sci-fi action scripts, one set in the 2070s, the other in 2099, and both on Earth. Might be looking to brush up the bits of worldbuilding that involve science in there.

Hi, Omar Shehab. Welcome to the community. I'm a Sci-Fi writer, and I put real-life science in my other scripts. I'll definitely keep you in mind as a consultant.
