I am a Canadian graduated with a Ph.D. in Earth Sciences from Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada.

I am active in the department of Earth Sciences at KFUPM as chair of both the graduate admissions and the research committee. I also serve on a variety of committees in the department.

Student Funding:

Available for 2010-11 Entry

Full-time funding is available for students interested in passive microseismic.  The funding is allocated by KACST under  the National Science and Technology Plan (NSTP).  

If you are interested, please send me your resume and transcripts by email at skaka@kfupm.edu.sa.

 

Our PhD program is now open on the registrar’s banner system (http://www.kfupm.edu.sa/gs/preonline.asp)
