About
Omar is a Ph.D. student in the Chemical and Environmental Engineering department. He earned his B.S. in Chemical Engineering from the Petroleum Institute (now Khalifa University) and his M.Sc. in Chemical Engineering from Khalifa University. For his M.Sc. thesis, he designed and built an electro-membrane reactor to treat oily wastewater. His current research focuses on studying membrane’s selectivity via molecular simulations; a vital question in processes such as desalination. Outside the classroom (and Zoom calls), he would be sipping Karak tea with friends, voice-acting, and playing soccer.
