I hold an MSc in Public Health for Development from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, complemented by a BSc in Pharmacy from Damascus University in Syria. Recipient of the prestigious Chevening Scholarship in 2018, I embarked on my academic journey in the UK. Some main projects included investigations into health system governance and adaptation in Syria, crisis-attributable mortality estimation in Yemen, and governance of childhood vaccination within crisis settings.

I am the co-founder and co-director of Syria Research Group (SyRG), a collaborative platform hosted between LSHTM and NUS Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health. SyRG focuses on rigorous interdisciplinary health policy and systems research within Syria, which may expand as we grow to include related projects within the region and among Syrian refugee and diaspora communities.
