Biography

I am a PhD student in the Tarek Ahmed Juffali Research Chair for Red Sea Ecology lab.  I first came to KAUST in 2019, after finishing my bachelor’s degree for an internship investigating the effects of environmental stressors on Cassiopea sp. polyps.

After completion of my internship I decided to stay at KAUST and pursue a Master of Marine Science.  The subject of my thesis was the role of oxygen in the thermal tolerance of Red Sea corals.

I finished my Master’s degree at the beginning of 2021 and look forward to continuing my research in the lab as a PhD student.
