Her research is based at SMSRC, University of Khorfakkan, and looks at thermal stress in Arabian Gulf aquaculture species, one of the warmest marine environments in the world and a useful window into how farmed fish cope with rising sea temperatures. Her wider interests are alternative aquafeeds, biotechnology, and new approaches to aquaculture.
