I have over 17 years of experience in research and teaching, focusing on identifying and managing plant problems caused by biotic and abiotic stresses using traditional methods, molecular techniques, and bioinformatics. My work emphasizes eco-friendly approaches, such as nanoparticles, microorganisms, and essential oils, to combat human and plant pathogens. I also explore plant-microbe interactions and environmental microbiology to enhance plant health and resilience. I have authored over 150 publications, including a book and several book chapters, and I’ve presented my research at various conferences. Additionally, I have collaborated on multidisciplinary projects funded by King Saud University. I am passionate about teaching and enjoy supervising undergraduate and graduate students in their academic journeys.
