Biography

A PhD candidate in Mechanical Engineering at KAUST, working on energy conversion technologies for a more sustainable future. My research centers on the design, optimization, and validation of burners for pilot-scale partial oxidation of natural gas to produce syngas.

Research Interests

My research interests focus on clean energy conversion and combustion systems, with an emphasis on partial oxidation of natural gas for syngas production. I am interested in burner and injector design, flame stabilization and lift-off behavior, mixing and heat transfer, and integrating modeling with experiments to optimize pilot-scale performance.
