Our Scholars

I have always wanted to be involved in bringing Yemen out of the health crisis it faces, especially after the ongoing war and the unstable conditions.

It was an incredible opportunity to connect with students and professionals from across the region, learn from industry leaders, and exchange ideas on operations, optimization, and the evolving future of our field. Thanks to the Hadhramout Foundation and the incredible support you provide.

My research is on plasma physics, considered the 4th and most abundant phase of matter in the universe. In the summer, I worked on plasma diagnostics, which can help us to measure the relevant plasma parameters to understand the plasma behavior.

I have faced and overcome many challenges. I'm the oldest of my brothers and sisters and the first in my family generation to go to college. It was very hard to leave my son and wife in my country, but I send my blessings to them every day. I continue to feel great pride and honor about my beloved Yemen.

Yemen has great resources in terms of solar irradiance, and the usage of solar energy has the potential to partially solve this chronic problem. When the time is right, after my education and some practical training, I will do my very best to help bring this technology to Yemen.

Coming back to Yemen, I plan to help in establishing a good educational system, one that rebuilds the community and empowers women to take their natural responsibilities as equal members of the community.

At the Diabetes Canada and Canadian Society of Endocrinology and Metabolism Annual Conference in Toronto, I presented research on protecting cells from senescence — exploring how defects in metabolic control can accelerate age-related pathologies.

Earned his PhD through his thesis on Serviceability and Ultimate Performance of Reinforced Concrete structures. A graduate of the University of Alberta's Civil Engineering program, now contributing to the field of structural engineering.

My ultimate goals are to establish a Cardiothoracic Surgery Medical Center in Yemen, as well as establish global collaboration for research, education, and outreach programs between institutions in Yemen and the United States.
