My Legacy

I like to be remembered as a father who did the best he could for his family, as a faculty who leads his students to excel, a peer who helps everyone to achieve her or his goals, a leader who contributes in the growth of his community, and as someone who never stops learning from others.

PROFESSIONAL RESEARCH ACTIVITIES

My research is highly diverse and focuses on plant-habitat interactions, particularly the ecology of plants in extreme environments. My research is employing innovative combinations of laboratory, field, and theoretical approaches to select the suitable phytoremediation technique to clean up the contaminated ecosystems on spatial and temporal scales. Recently, I extended my research to assess the influence of anthropogenic perturbations such as urbanization or agricultural and industrial pollution on plant diversity in natural ecosystems and identify the bioremediation technique to clean up the contaminated sites by heavy metals and organic pollutants.
