introduction/brief CV
- Assistant Professor of Astrophysics at King Saud University, with research interests in observational astrophysics, particularly the study of quasars and active galactic nuclei using large astronomical survey data. I teach physics and astronomy at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels and enjoy mentoring students and supporting their research development. My work involves scientific computing with Python and the application of artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques in data analysis. I am also actively involved in academic accreditation, curriculum development, and community engagement in science and astronomy.
areas of expertise
My areas of expertise span research, teaching, and academic development, with a strong focus on astrophysics and modern data-driven approaches. They include:
- Astrophysics and the application of fundamental physics to astrophysical phenomena
- Observational astronomy, including photometric and spectroscopic data analysis
- Galaxy evolution and star formation processes
- Quasars and supermassive black holes
- Physical properties of the interstellar medium
- Use of artificial intelligence and machine-learning techniques in astronomical research
- Analysis of large-scale astronomical surveys using computational and programming tools
