As an Art Historian, specializing in Islamic Art and Architecture, my work encompasses academic pursuits, cultural fieldwork, and the practical application of scholarship to contemporary urban planning and Arts patronage throughout the Arab region. My scholarship focuses on Islamic architecture, with an eye towards its impact, past and present, on urbanism, landscape design and conservation. I’m currently researching the technical and engineering aspects. of structures built under Islamic patronage through time, with an interest in exploring their applicability to contemporary design projects and modern urban planning in the Islamic World. I believe that through the application and reinterpretation of historical Islamic building techniques and urban planning models, the shared cultural heritage of the modern Islamic world is both reinforced and rejuvenated. I have done extensive work in cultural fields since 2007, both within the classroom and out. I have taught numerous courses at universities while continuing to actively publish new research in both English and Arabic covering many disparate topics within the greater field of Islamic Art and Architecture. My work has garnered global recognition, including my study on the Role of Modern Design in Contemporary and Traditional Architecture, which won international accolades. In addition, this dualtrack of scholarship and archaeological fieldwork is effectively fused in my role managing and advising for museums in both Qatar and Abu Dhabi, including the Qatar National Museum. I am professionally proficient in English, French, and Arabic, and have considerable experience presenting at events and conferences
