Profile Summary

I am a research scientist with an MSc in Energy Science from Kyoto University, Japan, where I specialized in biochemistry, biofunctional chemistry, and protein engineering under a fully funded Japanese Government MEXT Scholarship. My undergraduate degree is in Biological Sciences from the University of Jordan, where I graduated as the top-ranking student in my department. My core research expertise lies at the intersection of structural biology, enzyme engineering, and computational biology. My graduate research focused on rational mutagenesis of Type III RuBisCO from Thermococcus kodakarensis, targeting active-site residues to shift substrate selectivity toward modified C5-hydroxyl analogs. This work involved structure-based molecular docking using AutoDock Vina, protein structure analysis in PyMOL, mutant design and ranking, and experimental validation via NADH-coupled spectrophotometric enzyme assays with full Michaelis-Menten kinetic characterization. Beyond my research background I offer practical expertise in scientific communication and design. I have designed professional scientific presentations, academic conference posters, and research infographics for life sciences projects. I am proficient in scientific manuscript editing and technical writing in English. I am available for consulting, research support, scientific writing, data analysis, and AI-assisted life sciences projects. I work independently and deliver high-quality outputs with clear documentation. I am bilingual in English and Arabic, which allows me to support researchers across international and MENA region institutions. Areas of expertise include enzyme kinetics, protein-ligand docking, rational enzyme design, structural biology, carbon fixation biology, biofunctional chemistry, computational biology, and scientific communication.
