As an active partner with global educational bodies, I advance chemical engineering education by translating cutting-edge research in physics and mathematical chemistry into innovative, high-impact learning experiences.
As an expert in energy utilization, I specialize in optimizing water treatment and power generation processes to reduce industrial energy consumption. My research also spans plastic recycling management, aimed at increasing efficiency in a critical sector. Combining expertise in physical sciences and education, I lead collaborative efforts to achieve innovative, high-impact results.
With a dual focus on pedagogical research and modern teaching methodologies, I not only advance scientific understanding but also innovate the practical application of engineering skills to engage diverse learners.
With over 20 years of experience in higher education, I specialize in teaching and coordinating undergraduate chemical engineering and chemistry courses. During my 15-year tenure at Prince Mohammad Bin Fahd University (PMU), I not only managed core Chemistry courses and labs but also served on the Department of Quality Assurance committee for five years, leading initiatives to improve curriculum development and student experience. Furthermore, I bring a strong background in renewable energy research, stemming from my post-PhD role in R&D at E-ON Power Engineering Ltd-UK. This industrial experience, combined with my academic work, has fostered a proactive approach to research collaborations and external partnerships.
Throughout my academic career, I have taught a broad spectrum of undergraduate courses. My expertise spans fundamental chemistry and mathematics—including Introduction to Algebra—to specialized engineering topics such as Oil and Gas Operations, Wastewater Treatment, and Environmental Pollution. Beyond classroom instruction, I am also an experienced supervisor for final-year engineering projects, guiding students through the culmination of their undergraduate studies.
I am applying my background in industrial emission reduction (developed at Nottingham/E.ON) to cutting-edge kinetic energy modeling and transuranic reactions. Bridging pure science with practical environmental applications, I am also developing innovative plastic waste solutions that have already yielded successful preliminary data. I am collaborating with a team of mathematicians and physicists to bridge our ideas into the fields of mathematical chemistry, physics, and education.
I conserve active engagement in premier international scientific societies ensures my work remains aligned with cutting-edge global developments. By staying informed on the latest breakthroughs and educational strategies, I consistently bridge the gap between pioneering research and practical classroom application, enhancing both teaching quality and administrative leadership.
I leverage professional newsletters to share pedagogical insights and keep pace with the latest advancements in chemical engineering, physical sciences, and educational technology.
