Biography in Breif
Sep. 1st - up-to- date: Chairman, Department of Applied Chemistry and Biology - at PPU
April 2020 – up- to date: Chairman of Palestinian Society for Biological Sciences (PSBS).
2017-up- to date: Coordinator for Applied Biology Program at PPU.
2013- up- to date: Assistant professor- Faculty of Applied Sciences- PPU.
2017- up-to date: Member of Renewable Energy & Environment Research Unit (REERU) / Palestine Polytechnic University (PPU)
2003- 2008: Ph.D. in Biology, Plant Anatomy and Physiology. Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece.
I have 10 publications in peer reviwed journal, ten in conferences, two submitted for publication and seven drafts for manuscripts. I have supervised many graduation projects, master students and PhD students. I got many funded research projects i.e., PARC, PalGer, from PGSB , EUPI and Deanshipof research at Palestine polytechnic university.
Conferences: I was the Chairman of the Annual Conference of Palestinian Society for Biological sciences (4-5th, 2021).
With many participation in conferences in the form of oral presentations and posters.
My research interest is plant stress physiology and anatomy, plant nutrition and safe transfer of the nutrients through microalgae. Rehabilitation of the quarries, their landfill and nearby areas and wastewater treatment and heavy metal removal.
