Sabri Mourad: Zapping Syrian industry into shape
With the congratulations of the jury, the highest degree possible in France, Sabri Mourad received his PhD in mechanical sciences from the University of Nancy in eastern France in the year 2000. As a Syrian scientist working in France, he will soon introduce laser technology in Syria. As a member of NOSSTIA (The Network of Syrian Scientists, Technologists and Innovators Abroad) he is keen on giving something back to his native country. Currently, he is working for Albany International, an American company specialized in technical textiles used in the manufacturing of paper and high performance composites.
Technology Sovereignty
Technology is a broad
concept that deals with our usage and knowledge of tools and crafts, and how it
affects our ability to control and adapt to our environment. Sovereignty is the
exclusive right to exercise supreme political authority over a geographic
region, group of people, or oneself, subject to no other. Combining these two
terms, we come up with a new term, Technology Sovereignty, meaning
technological independence and self-sufficiency, subject to no other. Why is
this concept important to Syria?
