Profile
In 1999, I graduated from the College of Earth Sciences, King Abdulaziz University (KAU), Jeddah. After seven months of my graduation I worked for almost one year at the French Mission in Jeddah, then I resigned to start my new career to work as a demonstrator in the department of mineral resources and rocks at KAU. In 2002, I got married and after sometime I got a scholarship to the UK, where I was blessed with my first son Rayan and after two years I received a higher diploma degree in industrial rocks and minerals. Then I went back home. I continued my higher study to obtain MSc degree in economic geology (2007). After one year I got another scholarship to the UK, where I finished my higher study in 2013 by obtaining PhD degree in geology. Since that date I have been working as an assistant professor in my department.
