Hello!
I am Salahuddin, a young scholar in the field of higher education. My research agenda centers on faculty development, research competence, academic motivation, and success.
I earned my Ph.D. from the University of North Dakota, where I also served as a Research Analyst. My research investigates how faculty research competence predicts academic motivation and scholarly success. I bring over ten years of experience in teaching, training, quantitative and mixed-methods research. I worked as a research consultant with national and international organizations.
I am passionate about advancing equity and fostering inclusive, research-driven environments in higher education. I am happy to collaborate and willing to serve as a consultant in research projects.
