Profile

Biography

My name is Amin Kassab-Bachi. A Syrian medical Engineer. I was born in Saudi Arabia in 1987, and I'm now married and have two children. After finishing my engineering degree in Jordan. I worked for about two years, divided between two jobs. The first working as a Field Service Engineer in Saudi Arabia, and the second as a Clinical Engineer in Emirates. Then, I decided to move to the UK and pursue my dreams of learning more about, and contributing to, the field of medical engineering and medical technology through further education and research.
