I earned a PhD in fluid mechanics and physics at Aix-Marseille University in France (December 2022) while working as a research engineer at the Institute for Radioprotection and Nuclear Safety (IRSN) in Cadarache. My work focused on understanding and characterizing a beyond-design-basis nuclear accident management system called 'pool scrubbing.' The research involved studying the hydrodynamics and mass transfer of bubble plumes induced by the injection of contaminated gases into large water pools. After that, I returned to Lebanon and began a post-doc at AUB, where I worked on the numerical simulation of static mixers and the development of PBS equations to characterize size distributions and mass transfer. I am currently a part-time professor at NDU, LAU, and here at USJ, where I teach various mechanical engineering and physical science courses.
