Bachelor of Science in Fisheries and Wildlife Management (1994) from the University of Minnesota, USA, a Master of Science in Aquaculture (1996) from the University of Stirling, Scotland and a Doctor of Philosophy in Marine Biology and Aquaculture (2000) from Hokkaido University, Japan. I joined the University of Balamand-Lebanon (UOB) in 2000 as an Assistant Professor where I led on the establishment of the Institute of the Environment (IOE) and the Marine and Coastal Resources Program (MCR) at the Institute. I am currently directing both. I also guided the introduction of a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Science Programs in Environmental Sciences at the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, UOB where I chaired the Program for a period of four years. I am currently an Associate Professor at the Faculty where I teach several undergraduate and graduate courses related to fisheries, marine ecology, Coastal Zone Management (CZM) and general Environmental Sciences. Moreover, I develops and submit proposals for external funding in my field of expertise where I manage several externally funded projects on sustainable development and resource management and conservation. My research and projects concentrate mainly on fisheries, CZM, conservation of coastal and marine resources including biodiversity, artificial reefs, and wildlife management in which I have several publications. My interest is currently expanding into ecotourism, renewable energy, waste management, and watershed management.
I addition, I have extensive experience in developing, and then delivering training and capacity building material as part of externally funded projects implemented at the IOE in addition to my two decades of experience in teaching undergraduates and graduate courses including supervision of graduate theses in my fields of interest.
