I am an associate professor in Plant Breeding and Genetic Engineering at An-Najah National University in Nablus, Palestine. I am with An-Najah since 1997. I conducted my PhD research at Cordoba University in Spain in October 2005, with major in Plant Breeding and Genetic Engineering. I published either in refereed journals and/or in refereed conference proceedings about twenty papers in my field and supervised several master students.

My current research interests are improving crops for resistance to biotic and abiotic factor, environmental protection and control in agricultural and reuse of treated waste water in agriculture.
