About
I grew up in a beautiful area in western Sudan, Darfur where its nature has inspired me a lot to care about the environment. I studied forestry at University of Khartoum and got my B.Sc in 2006, then received my M.Sc. in 2009 in dry lands ecology and desertification studies from same university.
In May 2015 I've been awarded the PhD in Environmental Conservation from the University of Massachusetts where I worked with Professor Aaron Ellison in developing and applying ecological indicators for long-term monitoring of ecological changes in Northeastern US forests. Also between 2012 to 2015, I've been affiliated graduate research assistant at Harvard Forest, Harvard University where I've done my PhD's dissertation research and got a unique training opportunity in ecology.
Beside my work as lecturer of forestry and wildlife ecology at the University of Khartoum (Sudan) since 2010, I'm currently a postdoctoral researcher working with Prof. Carsten Dormann (University of Freiburg, Germany) and Prof. John Richardson (University of British Columbia, Canada). My current postdoctoral research is sponsored by the German's DAAD-P.R.I.M.E postdoctoral fellowship for the year 2015.
