The “Profiles of Doctorate Dissertations” is prepared by the College of Graduate
Studies in the Division of Research and Graduate Studies at the United Arab
Emirates University (UAEU). The purpose of this publication is to highlight the
research accomplishments of UAEU’s Doctorate students who have successfully
defended their dissertations and graduated from their program.
This 2014-2015 inaugural issue features the second class of graduates of the
Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) program. The profiles of twenty (20) PhD graduates
are featured in this issue, and are ordered chronologically based on the
dissertation defense date. Each profile includes a brief introductory information
of the student, an abstract of the student’s dissertation, a brief statement on the
research relevance and potential impact, a list of the main publications resulted
from the research, and the student’s career aspirations. The information included
in these profiles was provided by the students or their faculty advisors.
