About me

      I am from Saudi Arabia. Currently I am working on my PhD's in 3D Virtual Reality under supervision of Professor Carlos Aiken at The University of Texas at Dallas. I received  Master's in GIS from Geosciences Department at The University of Texas at Dallas in May 2003. Also, I received B.Sc. in Geology from Geology Department in the College of Science at the King Saud University in 1995 from Saudi Arabia. I have been working as an Academic researcher in the Natural Resources & Invironment Researches Institute at the King Abdulaziz City for Sciences & Technology (KACST) in Saudi Arabia since 1997. I like swimming and reading.
