Jasir completed his master's in chemical engineering from Texas A&M University at Qatar where he was involved in several experimental and modeling research projects. Previously, he has been associated with the Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, studying gas depressurization and flow to a catch-tank and vaporization rate of the cryogenic liquid spills on seawater. Currently, he has been developing models including both transport and machine learning models such as neural networks for the forward osmosis, reverse osmosis and membrane bioreactors to study their performance.
