What I'm looking for

I’m seeking an institutional environment where I can resume and complete doctoral studies, pursuing research in AI, heritage, and sustainability within architectural education.

At Cindrebay Technical & Occupational Skills Training LLC, I delivered online interior design courses and guided students through practical design projects. At Hectare Engineering Consultants LLC, I contribute to architectural design development, coordination, and technical documentation using BIM-based workflows.

At Damascus University, I taught architectural design studios and Elements of Architecture across studio levels, guiding students from foundational principles through advanced projects. I also taught Interior Design and Shadow and Perspective, and organized student exhibitions and academic field trips.

My research training at Politecnico di Bari focused on how laws shape the residential urban environment during reconstruction, with Damascus as a case study. I’m seeking to resume and complete doctoral studies with a research direction in AI, heritage, and sustainability in architectural education.
