“I am interested in understanding how environmental conditions affect animal physiology, behavior, and welfare. Through using new techniques such as Infrared thermography, animal behavior and isotope dilution techniques”

I'm working as an associate professor at Tabuk University, teaching animal physiology courses and observing students at different levels. I am also an academic advisor and supervise students in their studying stages. Conduct research projects in animal sciences; I conducted many types of research on reducing the use of antibiotics and replacing them with organic substances through obtaining support for the research project from the European Union (SRTD) and the Deanship of Scientific Research at Tabuk University. During the last semester, I gave a research proposal at King Abdul-Aziz City for Science and Technology (Saudi Arabia) entitled "Improving Milk Quality in Sheep Fed with Medical Plants Under Heat Stress." still under processing. Furthermore, I prepared an earlier research proposal focusing on milk properties under heat stress and water restriction condition in Jordanian desert conditions for sheep, goats, Poultry and camels. 

During this working period, I was assigned several administrative tasks, which are described as follows:

- General Supervisor of the Quality, Planning and Development Unit, - General Supervisor of the Affiliation exams, 

- General Supervisor of the E-Learning and Distance Education Unit, 

- General Supervisor of the Academic Advising and Alumni Affairs Unit 

- Chairman of the Scientific Research and Scientific Activities Committee 

In addition to membership in the technical and administrative committees of the Biology Department at the college
