• Member of Plant Ecology Lab Proposal Committee

Summary of current research and scholarship

At UAE University, Under the direction of the UAE Federal Government, the Ministry of Education has supported this project entitled “Dynamics of Mangrove carbon stock in Selected UAE coastline; a remote sensing approach”. The overall objective of the project is to evaluate the carbon stock in a selected mangrove study area, look into the carbon in mangrove litterfall, prepare a satellite-based litterfall model, access the change in mangrove vegetation from satellite images, and create a projection model for the mangrove habitat suitability. The project is in line with the extensive mangrove restoration efforts the UAE Federal Authorities have planned. I also produce report as part of my project work for the federal government's (EPDA) Environmental Development and Protection Agency.

PRACTICE ACTIVITIES

Teaching Practice – I have active involvement in PhD teaching Academy training during the Year I have honed my teaching abilities for both face-to-face and online instruction. I have used Blackboard and Ed App LMS effectively. Further, I have undertaken extra courses on " Assessment in Higher Education: Professional Development for Teachers" through MOOC from Erasmus University Rotterdam.

Professional Practice - I spent five years as a Research Scientist at Stud Pac Aquatic Solutions UAE (Urban Farming Solutions Company), where I gained experience with a variety of high-tech farming techniques, including hydroponics, aeroponics, and aquaponics and its carbon budgeting. I was recognised for the quality of my research which comprised many turnkey projects in the desert region.
