Adel is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Oulu, where he completed his PhD in Human Geography in 2025. His research focuses on social resilience, gender relations, sustainable tourism, migration, and socio-political transformation. In Mobile Futures (WP5), he explores integration as a two-way process, focusing on how everyday practices can challenge structural inequalities.
