I'm a research scientist and tech entrepreneur with a background in Chemistry, Materials Science, and Economics. My journey includes a Master's in Chemistry, becoming a published researcher at KAUST, and a role as a visiting researcher at the University of Cambridge. I then led innovations in passive cooling to enable desert greenhouses at RedSea, which fueled my entrepreneurial drive and led to the launch of Green Desert, where I aim to revolutionize desert agriculture through algae.
