BIOGRAPHY
Dr. Joy Tannous obtained her PhD degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Alberta in Canada in September 2019 and is a holder of several awards for high scholarly achievements like the Captain Thomas Farrell Greenhalgh Memorial Graduate Award . She also holds two teaching certificates from the Graduate Teaching and Learning program at the University of Alberta. She joined the United Arab Emirates University (UAEU) as an Assistant Professor in August 2020. Prior to that, she was a lecturer and post-doctoral fellow at the University of Alberta. Her research interests are in the petrochemistry field including sulfur-ring opening, free radical reactions and heavy oil upgrading, in addition to biomass upgrading.
