Professional Profiles:

Education:

I hold a Ph.D. in Bio-medical Physics and Bioengineering, which I obtained in 1999 from the Department of Bio-Medical Physics and Bioengineering at the University of Aberdeen, Scotland, UK. My doctoral thesis focused on “Computer Aided Detection of Clustered Micro-Calcification in the Digitised Mammogram,” and my specialization involved applying Digital Image Analysis to Medical Images. Prior to this, I completed an M.Sc. in Medical Imaging from the same department at the University of Aberdeen in 1995. My master’s thesis was titled “Relaxation Times Measurements at 7 Tesla NMR experimental small animal system.” Additionally, I hold a B.Sc. in Bio-Medical Engineering, which I earned in 1991 from the Department of Bio-medical Engineering at Damascus University, Syria.

Academic Courses:

I have undertaken several professional development courses and training programs to enhance my skills and expertise in various areas. In 2006, I participated in a program on “Electronic Distance Learning using MOODLE technology” in Amman, Jordan. The same year, I was involved in the “Design and Development of Electronic Academic Courses” at Demorgan University, UK, while working at Kalamoon University in Damascus, Syria. In 2003, I attended a program on “Digital Image Processing (Application & Architecture)” at the Summer University held at the University of Balamand, Lebanon. In 2002, I completed a training course on the “Applications of Radio-Isotopes and Radiation Protection” at the MIDDLE EASTERN RADIO-ISOTOPES CENTER FOR ARAB COUNTRIES in Cairo, Egypt. Additionally, in 2000, I acquired “Basic Web Technology Skills for Courseware Development” through a UNESCO (Cairo Office) USEE Programme at the Arab School of Science and Technology in Damascus, Syria. These experiences have contributed to my professional growth and proficiency in various aspects of my field.

Academic Employment:

My academic and professional journey reflects my dedication to the field of biomedical engineering and medical imaging. From 1991 to 1994, I pursued my undergraduate studies at the Biomedical Engineering Department of Damascus University, Syria, where I focused on research in medical imaging, medical physics, and digital image processing. Subsequently, in 1994-1995, I continued my academic journey at the University of Aberdeen, UK, where I served as an Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, and Full-Time faculty member in the Department of Bio-Medical Physics and Bio-Engineering. During this time, my focus areas included digital image processing, medical imaging systems, and nuclear medicine.

Returning to Damascus University’s Biomedical Engineering Department in 1999, I continued my academic career as an Associate Professor, teaching courses in digital image processing, medical imaging systems, and computer applications in medical sciences. From 2004 to 2006, I expanded my teaching experience as a Lecturer at the Biomedical Engineering Department of Al-Ahliyya Amman University in Amman, Jordan. Here, I taught courses covering screen-film radiography, nuclear medicine imaging, digital radiography, quantitative analysis of medical images, radiation protection, and essentials of medical imaging.

Conferences:

I have contributed to the field of medical imaging through various publications and presentations. In 2006, I presented a paper titled “Current State of PET/CT Medical Imaging Scanner” at the International Medical Informatics and Biomedical Engineering Symposium (IMIBE’06) held at Yarmouk University. This paper was part of the first Jordanian European Symposium and provided insights into the advancements in PET/CT imaging technology.

In 1998, I co-authored a paper with Undrill PE and Needham G. titled “The auto-detection of cluster microcalcifications in digital mammograms using texture energy.” This paper was presented at the 4th International Workshop on Digital Mammography held in Nijmegen, Netherlands, and focused on the application of texture energy for the automatic detection of microcalcifications in digital mammograms.
