Roles

I taught many general and specialized courses in the field of botany. I also taught graduate students in the department and cooperated in other universities in teaching advanced plant taxonomy courses, Palynology courses, and independent studies.

I also supervised many graduation projects and master’s theses in the fields of plant taxonomy, biodiversity, flora  of Libya, and plant anatomy. I also examined many graduation projects and master’s. I also worked in many scientific and administrative committees, which are:

I worked as a member of examination office for two years

I worked as the department's quality coordinator for two years

I worked as the coordinator of the environment and community service committee in the department

I worked as head of the  risk unit in the University

Careers

I  worked as a teaching assistant from 1991 until 2001, then a faculty member from 2005 until now, and  i graduated from assistant lecturer to the current degree Professor .
