الحمد لله أولا وأخيرا على نعمه وفضله.
Praise be to God, first and last, for His blessings and grace.
I am truly ashamed to express my happiness at Qatar University’s decision today to promote me to the rank of full professor, for several reasons, the most important of which is that our people in Gaza are still being bombed, martyred, displaced, bleeding, and even starved!
But what compels me to share this news is my deep gratitude to the members of my research group, the PhD and MSc students. Without their efforts, tireless work, perseverance, and dedication, our research would not have been published in the best international publishing venues, and our team and research would not have achieved the international reputation it deserves. I would especially like to thank Reem Suwaileh, Maram Hasanain, Rana Malhas, Fatima Haouari, Watheq Mansour, Marwa Essam, and Zein Sheikh Ali, besides the great collaborators Dr. Matt Lease (UT-Austin), Dr. Mohammad Imran (QCRI), Dr. Abdulaziz Al-Ali (QU), and Dr. Mucahid Kutlu (QU). I am indebted to all of them (and to my family, of course) for this success, and they are certainly partners in my promotion. I pray to God to guide us all to what He loves and is pleased with, to benefit His nation through us, and to help us move forward to fulfill our mission and graduate generations of distinguished researchers who will influence their communities.
Praise be to God first and foremost for His blessings and grace.
والحمد لله أولا وأخيرا على نعمه وفضله.
