PhD in Environmental Sciences & Engineering

During my PhD, I accomplished a comprehensive water recycling techno-economic feasibility study, which utilized Python and MATLAB modeling extensively. The primary objective was to establish the viability of deploying the inaugural pilot mini-plant in the Sultanate of Oman for Petroleum Development Oman (PDO). The study encompassed an intricate examination of the social, technical, and economic aspects of the proposed project. A total budget of 200,000 Canadian Dollars was allocated for this initiative. Through my active participation in this endeavor, I acquired invaluable skills in project management, conducting feasibility studies, and spearheading energy-focused initiatives. I firmly believe that these proficiencies would greatly benefit an individual aspiring to assume leadership roles within specialized climate and sustainability organizations.

MS - Atmospheric Sciences

During my Master’s program in Atmospheric Sciences, I dedicated my efforts to mastering the use of Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) numerical tools for diagnosing Canadian climate model outputs. One of the highlights of my academic journey was an engaging project focused on post-processing three Canadian climate numerical models. Specifically, I concentrated on assessing the model performance of GEM, GCMII and SEF seasonal forecasts, with a particular emphasis on precipitation patterns. This endeavor allowed me to gain valuable expertise in data analysis and visualization techniques, while also deepening my understanding of climate modeling methodologies. As part of my project, I developed a specialized tool to evaluate the influence of El Ni˜ no and La Ni˜na events on long-term forecasts, including seasonal predictions. This tool enabled me to identify crucial factors thatimpact the accuracy of climate projections and develop strategies to enhance the reliabilityof seasonal forecasts. This experience not only broadened my knowledge in data analysis, modeling, and climate research but also laid a solid foundation for my future academic and professional pursuits. Overall, my Master’s project was a significant milestone in my journey, equipping me with the proficiency to effectively employ ECCC numerical tools for diagnosing Canadian climate model outputs, analyzing data, and contributing to advancements in climate science.

DESS - Meteorology

Throughout my academic journey, I honed my abilities in analyzing climate datasets to identify constraints, establish mechanistic connections, and assess the sensitivity of target quantities to various sources of variability, whether they arise from natural or forced factors. In pursuit of expanding my knowledge and practical skills, I actively engaged in training sessions at the CMC Dorval during summer periods. These immersive sessions provided me with valuable hands-on experience and in-depth understanding of analyzing climate variability and large-scale dynamics. I focused on comprehending intricate climate phenomena such as the El Ni˜ no-Southern Oscillation, North Atlantic Oscillation/Polar Vortex, Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation, and Quasi-biennial oscillation. By delving into the analysis of these significant climate drivers, I deepened my understanding of their impacts, interactions, and implications within the broader climate system. By actively participating in these training sessions and combining my analytical skills with practical applications, I have acquired a comprehensive understanding of climate variability and the underlying dynamics at a large-scale level. These experiences have enhanced my ability to analyze climate datasets effectively and interpret the mechanisms and sensitivities that govern various climate phenomena.

MS - Science Physics

Driven by my passion for scientific exploration and proficiency in FORTRAN coding, I embarked on a creative endeavor to develop a numerical code capable of simulating the lower atmospheric layers. This endeavor held great significance as it aimed to support climate change adaptation initiatives in Francophone Africa. Through my inquisitive nature and innovative research approach, I successfully identified areas where industrial pollution was detrimentally impacting the local climate. Leveraging the capabilities of my numerical tool, I collected crucial data to shed light on the extent of these negative effects. By sharing this valuable information with local industries and government agencies, a collaborative effort was fostered to devise effective mitigation strategies, aiming to curtail pollution and minimize adverse environmental consequences. This initiative not only fostered goodwill within the local community but also demonstrated a steadfast commitment to sustainability and responsible environmental stewardship. Moreover, my work contributed to a deeper understanding of the intricate relationship between human activities, changing atmospheric conditions, and their impacts on the surface layers. These insights played a pivotal role in informing decision-making processes and reducing vulnerability to the effects of climate change. Through the combination of my FORTRAN coding expertise and scientific curiosity, I was able to make significant contributions towards climate change adaptation and promote sustainable practices in Francophone Africa.
