Mutaz Abuhayeh is a clinical psychology master's student and multidisciplinary professional with a strong background in both engineering and psychological sciences. He holds a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering (2005) and a Bachelor's degree in Psychology (2023), where he graduated with distinction (GPA 3.99) as the top of his class at the University of Jordan. He is currently pursuing a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology at the same university, with research interests focused on psychological resilience, anxiety, and culturally sensitive mental health interventions.

With more than 20 years of experience in mechanical systems design for buildings, Mutaz Abuhayeh has led a wide range of engineering projects through his private consultancy firm. His early work in sustainable energy included participation in the 2nd Energy Nanotechnology International Conference, held in Santa Clara, California, in September 2007. There, he presented a research paper titled "The Effect of Water Cooling on Improving Water Pumping Systems Efficiency Powered with PV Cells" (Paper No. ENIC2007-45072), which explored the impact of thermal management on photovoltaic system performance in water pumping applications.

Driven by a passion for understanding human behavior and enhancing well-being, Mutaz Abuhayeh transitioned into the field of psychology in 2018. He has since received intensive clinical training through placements at the Safsaf Occupational Therapy Center, working with individuals with schizophrenia, and the International Medical Corps (IMC), where he served as a mental health case manager and psychologist (Trainee). He has provided therapy to over 100 clients, utilizing both Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and psychodynamic approaches, with particular focus on trauma-related issues such as childhood sexual assault.

In addition to his clinical work, Mutaz Abuhayeh has contributed to advancing accessibility in psychological research tools. He was part of a collaborative effort that successfully completed the full Arabic translation of PsychoPy, an open-source software used for creating experiments in psychology, neuroscience, and related fields under the mentoring of Dr Ahmad Abudoush. This initiative is the focus of a joint academic paper currently under review.
