Bio:
Sattam Abdulkareem Almadani, was born on May 23, 1977 in Taif, located in western Saudi Arabia. He received his BS degree in marine physics from King Abdulaziz University (KAU) in Jeddah in 1999. He completed his MS in marine physics at KAU in 2003. He worked as an HR administrator for Unilever for almost three years, and then moved to Siemens and where he worked as a recruiter specialist for eight months. In 2007, Sattam joined Missouri University of Science and Technology to pursue his PhD degree in geology and geophysics. His research interests involve studying crustal structure and composition using receiver functions analysis. He received his PhD in May 2011 and joined King Saud University (KSU) in 2013. Now, he is the vice dean of college of science.
