Hashem Al-Ghaili

My name is Hashem Al-Ghaili. I was born in Yemen in 1990. I obtained my master’s degree in Molecular Biotechnology from Jacobs University Bremen in Germany and currently work as a full time science communicator (not for a company or anything, I just do it myself). I run my own Facebook page “Hashem Al-Ghaili” which has over 32 million followers and reaches around 400 million users per week. My videos on Facebook have garnered nearly 12 billion views. They cover a wide range of subjects: astronomy, physics, biology, medicine, nature, technology and innovation. My science communication activity extends to YouTube, Instagram, Twitter and LinkedIn. With my Teams we pioneered software and content creation for advanced technology platforms in the field of Computer Vision, Motion Sensing, Eye Tracking, Virtual Reality and Augmented reality. My professional background comes from Computer Programming and Design with a wide range of complementary skills on Computer Graphic and Production. I have lectured in various Universities and Academic Institutes such University of Cosenza and University of Malta and consulted on special gamification projects with a team leaded by Bocconi University Professor (Vaccani).
