He is a microbiologist and plant biologist by training. He has taught many classes in microbiology and plant biology. His research is centered on Plant Systematics and Evolution and his past and current work is focused on developing molecular phylogenies of economically important ge nera that have major crop plants such as barley\, peanut and pistachio.\n\n His microbiology research is focused on detection and enumeration of fecal coliforms in drinking water in Dillion Lake and Muskingum River in Ohio. He is working also on metagenomic analysis of microbial community associated with coral mucus from the Gulf of Aqaba.\n\nHe is investigating the effect of various types of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen spe cies (RNS) on DNA stability in several microorganisms including bacteria\, fungi\, viruses\, parasites\, and animal cells.\n\nHis most recent publicat ion is Metagenomic analysis of microbial community associated with coral mu cus from the Gulf of Aqaba.
