Assistant Professor

Bio

Mohammad Alalaween is a diligent, motivated and analytical Assistant Professor expert in organic geochemistry (particularly Biomarkers) with extensive experience of exploration, development and research in the oil and gas industry (such as Shell Sweden, Jordan, and Schlumberger company). Alalaween combines a breadth of industry knowledge with over six-year teaching experience in the UAE and UK. He is known for creating effective learning environment where student potential can be fully realized. His teaching method not only helps students to make progress and achieve their potential, but also simultaneously provides a positive learning experience for all.

The nature of Alalaween  research is inherently multi-disciplinary, combining geology, palaeo-climatology/palaeo-oceanography, organic geochemistry, petroleum system evolution, hydrology and hydrogeology .This approach enables to 

• Reconstruction of fluctuations in organic matter concentration and composition at variable time and spatial scales

• Construct a depositional model with respect to primary organic matter production and burial, ocean vs. sediment redox conditions, and indicators of palaeoceanography and palaeoclimate.

• Evaluate and Investigate the Petrophysics properties of conventional and unconventional reservoirs 

• Assess groundwater quality for sustainable development goals

• Assess the petroleum source and hydrocarbon generation potential by contributes to the successful identification and maturation of new plays such as study of the origin, migration and accumulation of hydrocarbon, determining how many oil and gas families are present in a basin and relating those to known source rocks and basin geology using bulk and organic analytical geochemistry techniques (e.g. biomarker)
