Since 2025, I have been a teaching staff member at the College of Pharmacy, Warith Al-Anbiyaa University. My academic work spans pharmaceutical sciences, chemistry, and medical physics. Before that, my research career developed over nearly a decade at Lund University in Sweden, where I completed both my MSc and PhD — the latter finishing in 2024 with a focus on enzyme characterization and molecular design

Published 5 peer-reviewed papers in top-tier, highly selective life sciences journals, with an additional 2 papers currently under review.

Specialization in biochemical enzyme chemistry, structural biology, and the investigation of catalytic mechanisms within biological systems.

Discovered an entirely new enzyme family of glycoside hydrolases, officially registered and classified as GH181 in the international CAZy database (the global reference for carbohydrate-active enzymes).

Current Innovative Projects: project on Enzymatic Blood Type Conversion, focusing on utilizing specialized enzymes to biochemically cleave surface antigens, aiming to develop universal, safe, and on-demand blood supplies for transfusions.
