Profile

I’m a PhD researcher in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Leeds. My interests include engineering design and socio-technical systems in healthcare. I hold an MSc in Systems Engineering from Boston University and a BSc in Industrial Engineering from King Abdulaziz University

Research interests

Explore engineering design through a socio-technical lens to build culturally responsive health solutions. My work combines human-centred co-design, systems thinking, and rigorous, data-informed evaluation to improve self-care and service access especially for older adults in culturally diverse settings.

Qualifications

BSc in Industrial Engineering, King Abdulaziz University
