الحمد لله الذي بنعمته تتم الصالحات Very pleased and proud that my PhD student @FHaouari has successfully passed her dissertation defense yesterday distinctly *without modifications* -- congratulations Dr. Fatima! 👏👏👏






The outstanding reviewer awards, without whom none of this could happen! Nominations were collected by full and short paper PCs.

10 out of 10 universities are bombed and destroyed in Gaza! Yes, 10 out of 10, i.e., ALL UNIVERSITIES! How can academics call this? How can mere humans call this? a) Self defense b) Collateral damage c) Genocide Test your conscience!













الحمد لله كثيرا على فضله ونعمه ... I'm honored to receive the "Dean's Award for Excellence in Research" from @QUCENG! The award isn't only to me; indeed it's to every single member of @bigIR_group, without whom (after Allah's guidance and blessings) I would have achieved nothing.
