Biography

I have a BSc. in chemical engineering from the University of Washington (2015), followed by +6 years of engineering/R&D experience at SABIC in EO/EG/EOA processes. I am currently an MSc/PhD chemical engineering student, working in the Advanced Catalytic Materials (ACM) group led by Prof. Jorge Gascon.

Research Interests

I am interested in KSA industrial diversification and mitigation efforts, including sustainability/energy optimization, carbon neutrality initiatives, and alternative petrochemical production/process routes.
