Mohammad Al-Abbas (mohammad.alabbas@lau.edu) holds a Bachelor of Engineering in Electrical Engineering (2019) and is currently pursuing a Master of Arts in International Affairs at the Lebanese American University. With a multidisciplinary background, Mohammad frequently utilizes engineering and programming techniques to tackle social science issues. He has engaged and published in diverse research topics, including engineering education, technology ethics, science diplomacy, policy design, public health, and most recently, migration. Mohammad's current research interest centers around the threshold of pollution tolerance before migration decisions are made. Specifically, he aims to examine how family composition, socioeconomic status, education, and other social indicators can predict and impact human mobility in the face of progressive environmental degradation. He is also interested in exploring the population dynamics at the individual and group levels that contribute to human immobility across generations, despite increasingly hazardous environmental conditions. Lastly, Mohammad is interested in the ramifications of this generational human immobility on development, socio-economic outlook, and household/community behavior. Ultimately, he hopes to contribute to the literature on the effects of climate change and environmental degradation and work towards more inclusive policies that increase regional, national, and international protections for environmental migrants to meet the climate change challenges of the 21st century. Mohammad has gained valuable research experience in various positions, including working as a Research Assistant in the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia's Demographic and Social Statistics section, as a researcher with the Center for International Policy's STEPs program, and most recently, as a member of the United Nations Development Programme's Office of Audit and Investigations, Investigations section. Additionally, he has held several teaching appointments at the Lebanese American University and served as the monitoring and evaluation officer for the Office of Graduate Studies and Research at the same institution.
