I went on to teach at the Maritime Education and Training Institution at the Arab Academy for Science, Technology and Maritime Transport where I decided to focus on a more academic career.<\/p>\n<p>I applied for the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sirc.cf.ac.uk\/SIRC-NF_Home.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nippon Foundation Scholarship<\/a> to study my PhD at the Seafarers International Research Centre at Cardiff University. I was lucky enough to be accepted and I never regretted my decision to attend such a renowned university.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Cardiff University prepared me for a successful academic and professional life ahead. It was the venue for my intellectual development with its wonderful staff and students.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Having taught in Egypt, Sweden, Cardiff and Lowestoft in the last 15 years, I am now a Senior Lecturer and Module Leader in Liverpool John Moores University.  I am passionate about teaching and enjoy teaching future seafarers and other university students studying maritime and commercial law. I was recently appointed as an accredited Consultant for the United Nation\u2019s International Maritime Organisation.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>At Cardiff I learned to listen more, to conduct robust research and, perhaps most importantly, to accept and work with people from a variety of different cultures.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>My research interests focus on the interaction between seafarers worldwide and marine environmental legislations and conventions. In the future, I would like to continue conducting capacity building in developing countries to help these states comply with international environmental regulations in the maritime domain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Captain Mohab Abou-Elkawam is a Senior Lecturer at Liverpool John Moores University.","protected":false},"author":904,"featured_media":1171,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69,38,80],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-977","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-arts-humanities-social-sciences","category-our-alumni","category-social-sciences"],"meta_box":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.cardiff.ac.uk\/alumni\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/977","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.cardiff.ac.uk\/alumni\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.cardiff.ac.uk\/alumni\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.cardiff.ac.uk\/alumni\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/904"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.cardiff.ac.uk\/alumni\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=977"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.cardiff.ac.uk\/alumni\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/977\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8141,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.cardiff.ac.uk\/alumni\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/977\/revisions\/8141"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.cardiff.ac.uk\/alumni\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1171"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.cardiff.ac.uk\/alumni\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=977"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.cardiff.ac.uk\/alumni\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=977"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.cardiff.ac.uk\/alumni\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=977"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
