Professional Teaching Fellow
In: Civil and Environmental Engineering » Faculty of Engineering

Biography

I am a Professional Teaching Fellow at the Graduate School of Engineering, mainly involved in engineering management-related courses. In addition to teaching and supervision of masters students, part of my role is to manage industry collaboration with the Graduate School of Engineering with a focus on maximising engagement through masters research projects. 

I finished my PhD in Construction Management in July 2020 at the University of Auckland. Before PhD, and while doing a master's degree part-time, I worked for seven years as a structural and construction engineer in a number of major projects such as the Hilton King's Ranch Hotel in Egypt and the Holy Mosque of Mecca in Saudi Arabia. I am an active member of the Project Management Institute (PMI) and a certified Project Management Professional (PMP) and Risk Management Professional (PMI-RMP).
