I am an experienced Marine Engineer, academic, and researcher with a career that spans over 15 years in the maritime industry and academia. My journey began with hands-on engineering roles aboard VLCCs and product tankers, where I developed practical expertise in ship operations and management. This experience laid the foundation for my transition to academia, where I contributed to advancing Maritime Education and Training (MET) as a lecturer at AASTMT. Currently, as a Research Associate and PhD candidate at the University of Strathclyde, I focus on integrating Human Factors into maritime design and operations, striving to create safer and more resilient systems.
I hold an MSc in Maritime Energy Management from the World Maritime University (WMU), where I graduated with distinction and was awarded the Chancellor’s Medal of Honour for academic excellence. My academic foundation is further strengthened by a BSc in Marine Engineering from AASTMT, where I graduated top of my class. In addition to my academic achievements, I hold a Chief Engineer's Certificate of Competency and have extensive experience contributing to technical and research-driven projects that bridge industry needs with innovative solutions.
My research interests lie at the intersection of Human Factors, Risk Management, and maritime system design. I am particularly focused on developing risk-informed frameworks and methodologies, such as SHIELD, to improve decision-making and safety in ship operations. I am also passionate about advancing MET through innovative approaches that extend beyond conventional standards, ensuring that the next generation of maritime professionals is prepared for future challenges.
