Profile:

My professional career spans 30 years, of which 22 years have been in education; teaching Microbiology, Biotechnology, and Botany to postgraduate, graduate, and undergraduate students in Saudi Arabia and India. I am actively involved in multidisciplinary collaborative research related to Nanotechnology, Mycology, and Plant Pathology. My research interest is in sustainable and environmentally friendly approaches to the management of plant and human pathogens. I have published several research articles in renowned peer-reviewed scientific Journals and presented papers at conferences and symposiums at national and international levels. Besides teaching, I supervise and co-supervise master and Ph.D. students. I am also associated with research groups funded by King Saud University. I am a contributing member of the Academic Accreditation and Quality and Development committees of the Department of Botany and Microbiology, King Saud University.
