I received my Bachelor and MSc in organic chemistry from the University of Jordan, working on Schiff base amidine systems with Professor Musa Nazer. On successful completion of my MSc I worked as a chemistry teacher at the United Nations secondary school in Jordan for several years and then in a couple of other English-speaking schools in Jordan, before moving to the University of Bradford, UK, in 2015. There I pursued a second MSc degree, developing thin films of Zr-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) on a conductive FTO substrate, which I completed with distinction. I then moved to Dunedin, New Zealand, to take up a University of Otago PhD scholarship in Professor Sally Brooker’s research group, working on coordination complexes as catalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). On completion of my PhD degree, I have received Exceptional Thesis 2021 award (University of Otago). Afterward, I received two postdoctoral offers, from which I chose to work on supramolecular calixarenes coordination catalysts under the guidance of Prof Olivia Reinaud at the University Paris Cite. Upon finishing my position, I have received a research fellowship from UCLouvain working photoelectrodes upon successful of my research grant application on photo and electrocatalysis using earth-abundant green coordination compounds for solar fuel application .
