Biography
PhD candidate in Environmental Engineering at KAUST, specializing in water desalination, membrane processes, and thermal desalination technologies. His research focuses on hybrid systems that integrate nanofiltration (NF) with multi-effect distillation (MED) to improve the efficiency, sustainability, and operational performance of seawater desalination.
He holds a master’s degree in Environmental Engineering from KAUST and has experience in experimental research, desalination system operation, water pretreatment, and scaling mitigation.
Research Interests
His research focuses on thermal desalination, membrane processes, and scaling mitigation. His PhD project investigates hybrid desalination systems integrating nanofiltration (NF) with multi-effect distillation (MED) to selectively remove scale-forming ions. This approach aims to enable MED operation at higher top brine temperatures, improve energy efficiency, increase freshwater production, and reduce the use of chemical additives. His work contributes to developing more sustainable and efficient desalination systems.
Professional Profile
His goal is to contribute to the development of next-generation desalination technologies that are more energy-efficient, environmentally sustainable, and economically viable. By bridging fundamental research with industrial applications, he aims to help address global water scarcity and support more resilient and sustainable water infrastructure, particularly in water-stressed regions.
