Profile

In The Name of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

First of all, WELCOME to my personal academic website.

Then, my story with King Abdulaziz University has started in the academic year of 2000 as a Computer Science student in the Faculty of Science.  With a high GPA, I was able to transfer to the Faculty of  Medicine and Allied Sciences at the beginning of the academic year 2002/2003.

Having successfully completed the undergraduate (Bachelor’s) Degree requirements, I graduated with a high GPA in 2006. Being among the top students offered me the opportunity to apply and get a position at FAMS as a Demonstrator “ a.k.a. Teaching Assistant”. This position allowed me to work with my professors at the same college. It also offers me with the opportunity to do Master and PhD’s Degrees. With the blessing of Almighty Allah and hard work, I was able to complete the Master’s Degree requirements in May 2012 at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), Rochester, .NY, USA. In 2020, I earned the PhD Degree from the University of Liverpool, UK

I would like to take the opportunity to express my gratefulness and deep thanking to my parents for their genes and limitless support . Also, thanks are extended to my professors at FAMS for teaching, training, and support since I joined the college as an underground student until I became a faculty member (now). More specifically, Dr. Ibraheem Ashankyty for his strong and continuous support.  

Deep, special and warm thanks to Mr. Mohammad Taleb Habib Tukar for being more than a brother, more than a friend, and more than a father. When talking about him, I am a speechless!

Finally, I hope that you know a little more about me and find some interesting pieces of information in my website.

Wa salamu Alaikum Wa Rahmat Allah Wa Barakatuh.
