Biography

I have graduated from King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia with a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering. The first reason for choosing that major is my passion for internal combustion engines. After my graduation in 2017, I decided to join one of the best engine labs in the world at KAUST.

Research Interests

My research interests focus on improving engine performance in terms of efficiency and emissions using unconventional oxidizers and fuels. I am also interested in studying engine/fuel interactions and the design of future fuels. Working with cooperative fuel research (CFR) engine, I have developed a wide experience in fuel rating and antiknock behavior. I also like to read old Arabic literature and trying to balance between this hobby and research is the real challenge!

Current research topic: Argon Cycle Engine
