Dr Amal Z. Hajjaj (AH) is a Lecturer in Nonlinear Dynamics. She received the Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Mechanical Engineering from Tunisia Polytechnic School in 2012 and 2013, respectively, and a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) in 2019; her PhD research was on characterizing theoretically and experimentally the linear and nonlinear dynamics of MEMS resonators. She joined Loughborough University in 2020 as a Lecturer in Electro-mechanical Systems. Her current research is focused on the theoretical and experimental characterization of the linear and nonlinear behaviour of coupled resonators, with applications in various MEMS devices.
