introduction/brief CV

Professional careers span more than 17 years in research and teaching. The main research interest has been in identifying plant problems caused by biotic and abiotic stresses and their management by employing traditional, molecular, and bioinformatics techniques. In addition, explore eco-friendly approaches such as the use of nanoparticles, microorganisms, essential oils, and other plant products for the management of human and plant pathogens. I have published more than 100 research articles in peer-reviewed journals, in addition to a book and a book chapter. I have presented several papers at conferences, symposiums, or workshops. Have conducted collaborative, multidisciplinary research. Apart from teaching undergraduate and graduate students, I have supervised the research and theses of undergraduate and graduate students. I have been the co-investigator of the research groups funded by King Saud University.

areas of expertise

The main research interest has been in identifying environmental and plant problems caused by biotic (fungi and bacteria) and abiotic factors (water, drought, and salt stress) and their management by employing traditional, molecular, and bioinformatics techniques. In addition, explore eco-friendly approaches such as the use of nanoparticles, microorganisms, essential oils, and other plant products for the management of human and plant pathogens. Isolation of bio-control agents and plant growth-promoting microorganisms from soils.
