Attended and supported students at the CMU-Q Experience day with the Biological Sciences faculty.

Attended the Ice Cream Social with the BioSci club

Attended the virtual Marhaba Tartans on 22nd April 2020

Biological Sciences Experience Program. I attended and helped supervise students in the lab.

Experience CMU-Q This event gives prospective students the opportunity to learn more about the Biological Sciences Program offered here at CMU-Q. Prospective students also get the opporunity to experience experiments that use state of the art equipment. They also get to collaborate as scientists and present their work as part of a team presentation. As part of my service to the Biological Sciences Program, I took part in this event, helping support student throughout the lab work and team presentations, provided an insight to life here at CMU-Q, and fielded questions about courses, concerns and extracurricular options. I was also involved with providing feedback on the delivery of this day and an evaluation of what we will do differently in the the following Experience CMU-Q day.

Helped make ice cream at the Ice Cream Social as part of the BioSci club.

I am involved with delivering a quiz concerning program expectaction to prospective biological sciences students as part of our departmental effort to recruit new students at the CMU-experience day event.

I hosted the quiz at the annual end of semester Biological Sciences party.

Marhaba Tartans. Was part of the Biological Sciences Presentation and presented on possible career opportunities

Meeting of the Minds Judging Panel. I will be serving on the judges panel for this event.

Mitigating Bias Workshop. As part of the hiring committees, I have been invoved with, I attended a workshop to avoid bias within the decision making process

Provided assistance to possible matriculating students in learning about blood types as a tool in criminology and transfusion medicine at the Biotechnology Explorer Program at Carnegie Mellon Qatar.

Sustainable Development Goals. As part of the EcoCampus intitiative and also identifying SDGs within my research/syllabi, I attended a workshop by Alexander Hiniker. This is with a view of helping construct a susatainability audit for the EcoCampus Committee

The Biotechnology Explorer Program is an outreach program geared towards student matriculation to CMU-Q. In this event, students learn about blood types as a tool in criminology and transfusion medicine. Students carried out visualization and interpretation of agglutination, microscopy and helped determine blood types and disorders of patient. As part of my service to the Biological Sciences Program, I was involved with supervising students at this event, as well as providing feedback on the delivery of the content and suggesting feedback for improvement to the subsequent event in Jan 2020.

Discovery and Characterization of Novel Anti-Malarial and Anti- Cancer Drugs. My involvement with this NPRP is as follows: “Prof Faulkner is a synthetic organic chemist who will use his expertise to narrow the selection of compounds for more detailed biophysical studies. He will also assist in the selection of fragment hits such that it will be feasible to link the fragments together and if time permits he will begin to assemble fragments into potential lead compounds.” This is taken directly from the grant application.

Academic Review Board

05 Oct 2021

I have served on this committee for serveral academic review board hearings. This takes about 12-15 h per semester. I continued to serve on this committee this current academic year.

Biological Sciences Faculty Search Committee

28 Jul 2021

The search committee has involved a considerable time-effort. We attended training sessions in bias, created rubrics to assess incoming applications, held Zoom interverviews for two-rounds – a short interview format and a long interview format (with demo lecture). We have had numerous discussions concerning the evaluation of candidates and have made iterative chalnges to our search.

Bioscience Taskforce

31 Jan 2024

As part of our annual retreat, the Biosciences faculty is working on a strategic action plan for the near and distance future. My part in this was to produce a plan of how both the faculty and staff can become peer observation partners with the objective of sharing best practices with each other and to develop a sense of community.

Biosciences Excellence in Academic Research Award (BEAR)

07 Jan 2024

I was tasked with generating an award ceremony which recognises a senior student in Biosciences for their contribution and dedication to UG research. I liaised with Nesrine Affara and Mohamed Bouaouina in creating the nomination and selection process. In addition, I chairs the same committee where faculty and staff were invited to participate in organising the event for the biosciences social at the end of this academic year.
