Personal profile

Personal Statement

Throughout my life, I have had a diverse range of experiences and backgrounds. As a marine engineer, I worked on commercial ships for over a decade. Subsequently, I spent seven years as a lecturer at the Arab Academy for Science, Technology, and Maritime Transportation (AASTMT). Since 2021, I have been employed as a Research Associate for the NAOME department at Strathclyde University. 

Academic / Professional qualifications

I graduated with distinction from the World Maritime University (WMU) with a Master of Science degree in Maritime Energy Management (MEM). Furthermore, I was awarded the WMU Chancellor's Medal of Honor for academic excellence. I also hold a Marine Chief Engineer Certificate of Competency since 2013.

Research Interests

My research has integrated a combination of non-classical methods to evaluate the energy efficiency of ships. In addition, I have participated in research endeavours aimed at developing Maritime Education and Training (MET) and its institutions beyond the current STCW standards. Recently, I joined the EU-funded SAFEMODE project in 2021, which sparked my interest in human factors and their potential application in marine design and risk management. Finally, I have gained extensive experience implementing various methods in the development of practical solutions, including artificial neural networks, regression techniques, and statistical analysis.
