Assistant Professor
An assistant professor in the department of chemical engineering at Kuwait University (KU). As a faculty member at KU, I plan to apply my knowledge of chemical engineering to teach undergraduate and graduate courses, provide research mentorship for graduate students, and launch my independent research program. My research focuses on modeling and optimization of solar hydrogen production systems.
