She is also an environmental expert and the director of the Center for Consultations and Scientific Studies of Natural Reserves (CCSSNR) at Ain Shams University since 2020. She is also the executive assistant of the "African Journal of Biological Sciences” since 2019 as well as the founder of the Forum for Arab Scientists in 2012. Dr. Emam has over 17 years of research experience focusing on global environmental issues. All her academic research articles were published in highly indexed journals. Her quest to discover new dimensions in the integration of geoinformatics and environmental science to promote sustainability has inspired many researchers. In 2018, she competed in "The Quarry Life Award" —a scientific and educational contest sponsored by Heidelberg Cement to increase biodiversity— and was awarded the third prize in the scientific research stream by the National jury in Egypt. She accomplished more than 50 approved EIA studies. In 2021, she participated successfully in preparing ESIA study and taking the necessary environmental approvals to implement one of the largest national energy projects in Egypt that entered Genius World Records
