He joined the Jordan Atomic Energy Commission (JAEC) after graduation where he worked on the heavy earth elements extraction project. In 2019, sponsored by the Japanese government under the MEXT Scholarship program, he attended Osaka University and completed his master\u2019s degree in Nuclear Energy Engineering in 2022 with research focused on the development of biodegradable 3D-printing composited that are enhanced mechanically and thermally by gamma irradiation, which also resulted in a symposium presentation and a peer-reviewed article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-wolfpack-red-color has-text-color
