About
I am a soil scientist specializing in soil fertility, land reclamation, and organic agriculture. I obtained my Ph.D. in Soil Fertility from Damascus University, where my research focused on the impact of organic and mineral fertilizers on agricultural productivity. My studies explore sustainable soil management practices, the role of organic amendments, and heavy metal contamination in soils.
I have published numerous scientific papers in peer-reviewed international journals and collaborated with researchers worldwide. My studies have contributed to understanding the effects of olive solid waste, cow manure, and other organic residues on soil health and crop yield.
With a strong academic background, I have taught at Damascus University, covering Soil Classification, Land Reclamation, Fundamentals of Soil Science, Soil Fertility, Plant Nutrition, and Sustainable Farming Techniques. Additionally, I have taught Soil Fertility and General Plant Science at Homs University. I also have expertise in statistical analysis, remote sensing applications in soil studies, and environmental risk assessment.
I am also a scientific reviewer for Elsevier, SpringerLink, and MDPI, contributing to the evaluation of research articles in soil science and agriculture.
