I am a green-chemist, environmentalist, yogi and advocate of everything-sustainable. Half-Iraqi, half-Lebanese, I grew up in Beirut and envision it a zero-waste, sustainable city. Having previously worked with the United Nations Development Program on research projects focused on waste-to-energy processes, biomass and biogas, as well as green- solvents, I aim to design green products and processes to reduce the production and use of hazardous substances through resource- efficient and innovative design molecules, materials and processes.
