Hi!!!!!!

I am Omar, from Jordan. I joined Edinburgh University 3 years ago and i graduated last May(2008) with a Bachelor degree in Electrical and Mechanical Engineering. I will do my masters in renewable energy in germany and specialise in photovoltaics (in Newcastle, England) next year.

After 3 years of studying engineering, I started wondering what it would have been like if i did something different, i then recieved an email about this competition, read about it and found it very interesting.

I have always been interested in saving the world!, which i feel influenced my choice of studying renewable energy and joining the iGEM team. I dont know exactly what is going on in the lab work, because i have no biology background, but i think we are doing good. As a part of the project, i have been researching the food shortage problem that the world is suffering from, i found some really disturbing photos of starving people, and was shocked to learn about the scale of the problem.

I like playing the piano, and my favourite sport is squash. My email is omar.gammoh@googlemail.com, email me if you have any questions about the engineering aspects of the project.
