About me
I currently serve as President of the Gulf University for Science and Technology (GUST), Kuwait. My research interests focus on designing 2- and 3-D materials for gas separation, carbon dioxide capture, and hydrogen gas generation. In addition, I am exploring the synthesis of novel organic and polymer materials for photovoltaic and sensing applications. Unlike professional societies whose focus is very specific, AGYA offers the chance to interact with a diverse network of academics and researchers whose interests span across the entire spectrum from social to natural sciences. This opens a new perspective and bestows AGYA members with great chances.
