introduction/brief CV
With over 18 years of experience in teaching and research, my academic work focuses on plant health and the management of biotic and abiotic stresses through traditional approaches, molecular techniques, and bioinformatics. My research emphasizes sustainable and eco-friendly strategies, including the application of nanoparticles, beneficial microorganisms, and essential oils to manage plant and human pathogens and enhance plant resilience. My research interests also encompass plant–microbe interactions and environmental microbiology.
I have authored more than 160 scientific publications, including a book and several book chapters, and have presented my research at national and international conferences. I have contributed to multidisciplinary research projects supported by King Saud University.
I am passionate about teaching, research supervision, and mentoring undergraduate and graduate students. I also actively contribute to academic quality, accreditation, and program development through departmental committees, as well as to community service and outreach initiatives, supporting academic excellence and the university’s broader societal mission.
