Overview

I'm an architect and urbanist. I have been working as a teaching assistant since 2015 and then as a lecturer since 2020 in the department of Architecture at Qassim University, Saudi Arabia. I earned my bachelor's degree in Architecture from Qassim University and my MSc in Urban design from the University of Manchester. 
Now, I'm working on my PhD studies at the Welsh School of Architecture, in which I am investigating the influence of the built environment and outdoor thermal comfort on walking behaviour. The main themes I'm working on are urbanism, walkability, outdoor thermal comfort, microclimate, healthy urbanism, healthy behaviour, and walking behaviour.
