introduction/brief CV
In January 2013, I joined the Department of Optometry at the College of Applied Medical Sciences, King Saud University, Saudi Arabia. My current research focuses on tear ferning chemistry, a valuable tool for detecting dry eye. We are investigating ocular dryness by measuring tear osmolarity using the TearLabTM system and other techniques. Additionally, we study the ocular tear film in individuals with diabetes, smokers, and those with thyroid gland disorders to explore the relationship between dry eye and diabetes and the effects of thyroxine hormones. Our current focus is on developing new artificial tears. We are also working to improve the quality of tears, specifically tear ferning, for the most common artificial tears on the market.
Active collaborations are ongoing with Professor Keith Smith and Dr. Benson M. Kariuki from Cardiff University, United Kingdom; Professor Ali M. Masmali, Professor Saud A. Alanazi, Dr. Raied Fagehi, Dr. Ali Abusharha, Dr. Mana A. Alanazi, and Dr. Mashaaer A. Baashen from King Saud University, Saudi Arabia; Dr. Mohammed B. Alshammari from Prince Sattam Bin Abdulaziz University, Saudi Arabia; Dr. Mohammad H. Alotaibi from King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology, Saudi Arabia; Dr. Mohammed Baashen from Shaqra University, Saudi Arabia; Dr. Alaa Alqahtani from Umm Al-Qura University, Saudi Arabia; Professor Emad Yousif from Al-Nahrain University, Iraq; Dr. Dina S. Ahmed from Al-Mansour University College, Iraq; Dr. Asim A. Balakit from Babylon University, Iraq; Dr. Yusuf Sert from Bozok University, Turkey; Professor Bakr F. Abdel-Wahab and Dr. Hanan A. Mohamed from the National Research Centre, Egypt; and Professor Mamoun Fellah from Abbes Laghrour University, Khenchela, Algeria.
Our research covers the following areas.
Synthesis of heterocycles with potential applications through greener synthetic routes rather than traditional ones.
Medivinal applications of new materials as antimicrobial agents.
Synthesis and application of chemiluminescent and photochromic materials with exciting properties.
Synthesis of new nanomaterials with potential medicinal applications.
Use of organometallic compounds, especially lithium and boron, as intermediates in synthetic organic chemistry.
Use of zeolites, solid-supported reagents, and polymeric materials as catalysts in highly regioselective reactions.
Synthesis of polymeric materials with interesting applications.
Nanosecond time-resolved laser-spectroscopy study of dynamic interfacial charge transfers of organic dyes.
Investigative factors affecting the tear film and contributing to eye dryness in humans and animals.
