MUHAMMAD ELMIRGHANI, UNDERGRADUATE STUDENT

Muhammad is a first year Biology student at the University of Oxford with interests including but not limited to ecology and animal behaviour. He is enthusiastic about the opportunities to work and learn within the Biodiversity and Sustainability Research Group and hopes to expand his research skills in both the lab and the field. Muhammad has become involved in conservation ecology in the Middle East through his work with the NEOM Nature Reserve in north-western Saudi Arabia. Here, he was able to assist in developing strategies to minimise the impact of increased human activities in the area on the protected native fauna, namely the Spiny Tailed Lizard.

Muhammad seeks to gain a deeper understanding of the natural world and, in so doing, affect positive change. He is excited to pursue these goals through further academic research and more immediately, to support the efforts of the Research Group.
