Summary
I have over 19 years of comprehensive experience in various roles (academic & industry) and countries (Pakistan, Malaysia, Yemen) including 7 years of remarkable leadership in department management and field project execution. I successfully led a team of engineers and technicians to complete numerous geotechnical design and soil investigation projects. I have a PhD in civil engineering (geotechnical engineering) from Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia (UTHM), a master's degree in geotechnical engineering from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM), and a bachelor's degree in earth science from Sana'a University. In my previous roles, I have gained a wealth of experience in academic administration (Head of the department), teaching, research, and industry. I have taught a wide range of geotechnical engineering courses at both the undergraduate and postgraduate levels (geotechnical engineering, foundation engineering, engineering geology, soil mechanics, rock mechanics, advance geotechnical design, advance soil mechanics, etc.). I have also supervised several PhD, master, and undergraduate students. My research interests include geotechnical engineering, geotechnical sustainability, soil improvement, bender element applications, soil and rock investigation, soil and rock slope stability, geophysical applications in geotechnics, near surface seismic methods, and engineering geology. I have published 43 papers in Web of Science, Scopus, international journals and international conferences with h-index of 17 & 14 in Google Scholar and Scopus respectively. I have also been assigned as a reviewer in many respectful Web of Science and Scopus journals. In addition to my academic experience, I have also worked as a geotechnical engineer, consultant, trainer, and engineering geologist in both public and private sectors in Pakistan, Malaysia, and Yemen. I have successfully secured two external funds for two research projects (in Geotechnical Engineering area) as PI and Co-PI with cost up to 21 million PKR as well as execution more than 38 industrial projects during the last 6 years.
