The School of Translators and Interpreters of Beirut aims at training high-level translators and interpreters to master intercultural competencies by helping them to adapt to cultural differences, sharpen strong analytical and deductive skills, and develop professional judgment.

Being affiliated to the most prestigious academic and professional organizations in the world and having agreements with the most prominent international organizations such as the United Nations and the European Parliament, the School also wishes to help its students acquire two skills that are crucial to the translator and the interpreter:

• to learn how to work, i.e. understand, think and express oneself ;
• to acquire the notion of system: any fact, whether linguistic, economic, legal, or religious is only understandable when it is part of a system - the translator or the interpreter should be able to understand how each society or culture organizes reality in its own way.

The language combination of this Bachelor of Arts in Translation consists of Arabic, English, and Spanish. Upon graduation, translators can work in international organizations, embassies, ministries, translation agencies, publishing houses, news agencies, media, universities and schools, etc.

I would like to express my gratitude to USJ, in particular to the Faculty of Sciences that shaped my career and set me up for success in the professional world. This 9-year journey began with my Master’s degree in 2013. Later, in 2017, I received my PhD in Biochemistry from the same Faculty and a second PhD in Chemical and Process Engineering from the University of South Brittany in France. Subsequently, I was recruited as lecturer and researcher at the Higher School of Engineers of Beirut (ESIB) and the Faculty of Sciences at USJ until August 2020.

As active researcher, I’m conducting research going beyond proven theories and responding to societal needs and global challenges. Therefore, my projects are focusing on waste treatment and bioenergy production. My passion for innovation prompted me to implement a prototype to assess the methane production from organic waste within the Faculty of Sciences. This allowed us to obtain the Lebanese Industrial Research Achievement award from the Ministry of Industry as well as the Incubation and Business Support first prize from Berytech. In October 2019, I was the first Lebanese to win the Green Talents Award from the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research, selected between 837 young researchers from 97 countries.

Today, I am Assistant Professor in the Chemical Engineering department of the Faculty of Engineering at Beirut Arab University and Regional Coordinator for the Levant at AGYA (Arab-German Young Academy of Sciences and Humanities) which is based in Berlin.
