Biography

Rim Anabtawi serves as a Research Assistant at Khalifa University, applying her extensive knowledge in architectural engineering to advance sustainable urbanization. She earned her Master's degree in Architectural Engineering from the United Arab Emirates University (UAEU), where she was also a recipient of the prestigious Chancellor's Fellowship. Rim holds a Bachelor's degree in Architecture from Abu Dhabi University.

Before joining Khalifa University, Rim dedicated two years as a Research Assistant at UAEU. During this time, she significantly contributed to the field of urban planning, evidenced by her publications in respected journals and active participation in international conferences. Her research, including impactful studies on pedestrian route directness and street network efficiency in superblocks, not only solidified her expertise but also expanded her academic network.

Rim's research interests are focused on the dynamics of urban environments, particularly sustainable urbanization, urban morphology, walkability, and street network analysis. Her work is aimed at developing innovative strategies to enhance the quality of urban life while ensuring environmental sustainability.
