Biography

Studying the effect of anthropogenic activity on the marine environment is my primary goal. My undergraduate research focused on the bioaccumulation of trace metals in bivalve species. I have conducted field sampling on an oceanographic cruise to evaluate the productivity of the Arabian Gulf.  I also aim to study the impact of climate change on macro and micro communities of the Red Sea
