Dr. Al Kwatli specialized in Geosciences, focusing on Geochemical Modeling, Radiometric Dating (K-Ar), Remote Sensing, GIS, and various other disciplines within Earth Sciences. He completed his Ph.D. with Highest Honors at the University of Paris-Saclay in 2011, where his research focused on advanced techniques for analyzing and modeling Earth's dynamic systems. Afterward, he served as a Researcher and Lecturer in Geosciences at the University of Paris Sud from 2011 to 2012.

In 2012, Dr. Al Kwatli undertook postdoctoral research with Total Petroleum Company, contributing to advanced projects in the petroleum industry until 2013. His academic qualifications were further recognized in January 2013 when he was certified as an Assistant Professor by the Ministry of Higher Education and Research, France. Subsequently, he was appointed as an Assistant Professor and Researcher (ATER) at the Department of Geosciences, Université Paris-Saclay.

With more than a decade of experience in both research and teaching, as a professor and researcher at the Academy of Versailles and the University of Paris-Saclay, Dr. Al Kwatli has made significant contributions to the fields of geochemistry, tectonics, and geodynamics, with a particular focus on the tectonic interactions between the Arabian and Eurasian plates, the Red Sea rifting, and the Dead Sea fault system. His research has also shed light on the evolution of these complex geologic settings, contributing to both academic knowledge and practical applications in energy resource exploration.

Dr. Al Kwatli has co-supervised significant research at the University of Paris-Saclay, focusing on the geodynamic and geochemical evolution of key geological regions. His work includes investigating the magmatic evolution of the Red Sea Rift and Afar Depression, studying the lithospheric heterogeneity beneath the Palmyride Thrust Belt and Lebanon-Anti Lebanon mountains, and utilizing hyperspectral remote sensing to map hydrothermal alterations in the Oman ophiolite. Additionally, he has contributed to geochemical modeling, exploring dynamic melting processes and mantle heterogeneity. These projects reflect his expertise in integrating geochemistry, geophysics, and remote sensing to advance the understanding of tectonic and magmatic systems.

Dr. Al Kwatli’s research has not only enriched the understanding of complex geodynamic systems but also shed light on the critical role of natural resources in geopolitical stability and peace initiatives, particularly in the Middle East. He has actively engaged in efforts to highlight environmental risks in conflict zones and has addressed the United Nations on related issues.

Dr. Al Kwatli's research experience and philosophy have been profoundly influenced by his active participation in numerous research projects. His conviction regarding the significance of open education, continuous learning, and professional development has motivated him to participate in various training programs, including those offered by NASA for Remote Sensing and the IFP School for the Oil and Gas Industry.

In the meantime, Dr. Al Kwatli dedicates himself to both research and teaching. By continuing to pursue both endeavors, he ensures a dynamic approach to his profession. As a researcher, he contributes to the advancement of knowledge in his field, exploring new frontiers and solving pressing problems. Meanwhile, as a teacher, he imparts his expertise to the next generation of scholars, inspiring them to think critically and innovate. This dual role allows him to have a profound impact on the academic community and on society as a whole.
