Summary
As a Research and Development Technologist at Dubai Electricity & Water Authority (DEWA), I work with a team
of engineers and scientists to develop and implement innovative solutions for renewable energy generation,
transmission, and storage.
I have a strong background in sustainable engineering, with a MSc in Nuclear Decommissioning and Waste
Management from University of Birmingham, where I received the Fremlin Prize for the best thesis in the course. I
also have a BEng in Sustainable Energy Engineering from Queen Mary, University of London, where I learned the
fundamentals of solar, wind, and hydro power systems.
I have developed multiple skills in solar energy systems, solar PV performance and reliability, Python
programming language, machine learning, and data analysis, which I apply to my current projects at DEWA. I
have also earned certifications in Microsoft Office Specialist Outlook and Excel, and edX Solar Energy course,
