My Bachelor degree in CHEMICAL ENGINEERING was obtained from Kind Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, 1991. Master (2001) and PhD (2004) from Mie University, Japan. I was appointed as a full time research in Mie Industry and Enterprise Support Center (MIESC), Japan from (4/2005 – 6/2007). Full time researcher in Anotsu Research Institute for Environmental Restoration (ARIER), Mie, Japan from 7/2007- 4/2009). From 5/2009 joined University College TATI, Terengganu, Malaysia as a lecturer, became the Dean of Chemical Engineering Technology, at the same university from 8/2012 to 2/2013. From 3/2013 till 12/2014, I was appointed as the Dean of Research Management Centre (RMC) in the same University.

Currently I m working as Associate Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering Technology, University College TATI supervising Degree, Master & PhD students. Contributor as a leader or as co-researcher different research grants funded by KPM and UCTATI.

Besides my research and academic activities including publications, funded projects, supervision of postgraduate and undergraduate students, I am also an accomplished expert in the sustainability, industrial wastes and wastewater treatment processes, carbon dioxide chemistry, fuel production, analytical atomic spectrometry, pollution prevention, physical‒chemical treatment. Moreover, I have received prestigious scholarships and awards such as; awarded the Japanese government (MEXT, scholarship 1998-2004), Japan Society for the Promotion of Science fellow (JSPS June 2011-March 2012). In Malaysia awarded different medals in national and international levels such as ITEX, MTE, and PECIPTA for the significant contribution to cleaner environment.

To date I have published more than 30 papers, 2 chapters in books, some of these papers published in high impact journals such as Chemical Engineering Journal (Elsevier), Arabian Journal of Chemistry (Elsevier), Frontiers of Chemical Engineering in China (Springer), IOP and others.
