Key skills
Professional experience
Conduct market, industry, and technology research across direct lithium extraction, advanced membranes, water treatment, green hydrogen, and emerging industrial solutions; synthesize technical, commercial, sustainability, and implementation evidence.
- Analyze experimental and operational data, identify performance gaps, evaluate solution options, and prepare feasibility summaries, business-case inputs, pilot recommendations, technical reports, and presentations for senior and external stakeholders.
- Collaborate with Khalifa University, UAE University, TII/Masdar, Hub71, ATRC/ASPIRE, technology partners, and internal R&D, legal, HR, and leadership teams to gather requirements and coordinate research, partnership, and commercialization workstreams.
- Support Emiratization and local capability development by coordinating internship pathways for UAE Nationals, university engagement, guest lectures, mentorship, student and faculty visits, and exposure to industrial R&D environments.
- Design and facilitate Arabic and English workshops on desalination, water reuse, zero-liquid discharge, AI-enabled operations, critical-mineral recovery, and the journey from laboratory research to market application.
- Contribute to continuous improvement and knowledge transfer through lessons learned, technical documentation, stakeholder follow-up, and structured evaluation of whether promising technologies should be piloted, modified, scaled, or discontinued.
Worked in an engineering consulting environment supporting feasibility and process-engineering decisions for a new North Pier transfer and export system handling HFO, MOGAS, crude, naphtha, gasoil, ATK, and related petroleum products.
- Reviewed client requirements, legacy operating data, process descriptions, and product safety information to define operating envelopes and identify technical constraints, assumptions, risks, and dependencies.
- Analyzed viscosity, vapor pressure, flash point, auto-ignition temperature, pump duty, flow rate, pressure loss, and cavitation risk to support process design, equipment selection, and feasibility recommendations.
- Translated complex engineering findings into clear inputs for multidisciplinary stakeholders, supporting issue resolution, option assessment, and evidence-based project decisions in the chemicals, natural resources, and energy sectors.
