  I worked with Dr; Moneera al-Ghadeer on preparing proposals for development projects in the city of Riyadh. One project was to establish STEM schools for young women to encourage their interest in the field and to open opportunities for their future career. Another project was to design programs and trainings to improve the integration of Saudi students who received fellowships to study abroad.

  Institut Curie - Research Centre

  Jan 2019 - Nov 2021

  I joined the Biophysics department (UMR168) at Institut Curie in 2017 in order to do an interdisciplinary project on cell morphological changes. My project involved studying an innovative species called Diploscapter pachys which is parthenogenetic. We knew very little about this species; only 2 publications existed by 2018. I was particularly interested in understanding how the asymmetric division of this embryo comes about.
