4. Teaching

I have over 30 years of teaching experience in 4 universities. My teaching duties at SQU

have included: lecturing, demonstrating and coordinating General Chemistry courses,

developing higher-level undergraduate and post-graduate courses in Inorganic Chemistry,

supervising B.Sc., M.Sc. and Ph.D. projects. At the University of Cambridge I was

engaged in instruction and supervision of Part 1 Inorganic Chemistry course,

demonstration of Inorganic, Organic and Advanced Inorganic laboratory courses,

supervision of Professor Lord Lewis' Organometallic Polymer Research Group consisting

of 5 Ph.D. students and 2 Post-doctoral fellows. I taught Organometallic and Materials

Chemistry courses, demonstrated Advanced Inorganic laboratory course and co-

supervised several Ph.D. and Post-doctoral projects at the University of Bath. At the

University of Dhaka I taught courses in General, Inorganic and Organometallic chemistry

and supervised 4 M.Sc. student projects.

Sultan Qaboos University (1994 to the present)

Course Teaching

Since joining SQU I have made major contributions to the academic program of the

Chemistry Department through quality teaching. I designed lecture demonstrations,

models and teaching aids for effective teaching of General and Inorganic chemistry

courses at various levels. I taught seven different theory courses over the past nineteen

years. My course and teaching evaluations have been consistently good.

4. Ph.D. Project (CHEM. 8001)

I have been able to combine teaching and research into an effective practical experience

for my students. I use the tools of research to impart to students skills for critical thinking

and analysis that go beyond textbooks and laboratory exercises. I have supervised 35

B.Sc., 2 M.Sc. and 2 Ph.D. (including 1 sandwich Ph.D.) projects. Currently I am

supervising 2 Ph.D. students at SQU, one will submit her dissertation in Spring 2016.

I have consistently maintained a very high standard in project supervision at SQU. I

clearly convey to my project students what the international standards are in scientific

research. As a result, my students conduct original scientific investigations that are

published in leading international journals and presented in major international

conferences. I have been able to publish the results of all completed student projects.

Curriculum development and teaching management

From the very beginning of my career at SQU, I took special interest in curriculum

development and have been working in various committees to develop Advanced

Inorganic Chemistry courses as well as General Chemistry courses. I revamped three

higher-level Inorganic Chemistry courses and contributed a course for the new BSc

degree in Applied Chemistry.


of 31

1. Principles of Inorganic Chemistry (CHEM. 3311)

2. Inorganic Chemistry II (CHEM. 4411)

3. Catalysis: (CHEM 5571 for the new BSc degree in Applied Chemistry)

4. Topics of Inorganic Chemistry I (CHEM. 6611)

The contents of the above courses have been updated to include a wider spectrum of more

relevant and modern aspects of Inorganic Chemistry. I also took special interest in lab

development. I restructured the main Inorganic Chemistry laboratory course, CHEM.

4415 in a project format and developed adequate number of higher-level and well-

integrated experiments relevant to this course. The students are now assigned to study

selected literature pertinent to the experiments, communicate experimental results in

written journal format and make oral presentations in weekly seminars.

I was principally involved in the development of the Masters program in Inorganic

Chemistry and designed half of a course: CHEM. 6611covering Symmetry & Group

Theory.

I also developed the curriculum for Masters by Research Thesis in Chemistry. My strong

commitment to research has been an important force in shaping a decent Masters program

in Chemistry.

Student advising

I made major contribution to academic advising in the Department. I have been the

advisor for more than two hundred students.

1. Chemistry major students, summer semester, 1996

2. 30 Science Education students, 1994 Cohort

3. 60 pre-major students, 1998 cohort

11. As the departmental Ph.D. Program Coordinator, I am currently advising the doctoral

students.

As the academic advisor I have offered academic and career guidance to my students.

Over the years I have closely monitored students on academic probation and suggested

alternative work plan for their graduation. My advisees (up to 2011 cohort) successfully

graduated from the University and got decent jobs in the Sultanate.

5. Service

As part of my service at SQU, I am involved in a variety of administrative duties. I have

been associated with 30 or so committees at the Department, College and University

levels. I worked as Head of the Department from September 2005 to August 2009.

Highlights of my Headship have included: (i) Approval of a new BSc Degree Program in

Applied Chemistry by the University Council in May 2006 (ii) Implementation of the new

6. Scholarly Achievements

Research

Field of Specialization

I am by doctoral training, a coordination chemist with a strong background in synthetic

organic chemistry. In 1989 I initiated a research program in organometallic polymer

chemistry and developed a novel synthetic protocol for “rigid rod” conjugated polymers.

The new materials possess intriguing opto-electronic properties useful for application in

modern technology. I have established a frontier research program in Polymer Chemistry

and Physics with focus on several multi-disciplines.

Design and Development of Novel Synthetic Protocol for Conjugated Organometallic

and Organic Polymers and their Molecular Precursors

Spectroscopic Characterization of Organometallic and Organic Polymers

Structural Studies of Model Organic and Organometallic Compounds

Elucidation of Structure/Property Relationships in Conjugated Polymers

Photo-physical Properties of Conjugated Polymers

Quantum Chemical Calculations (EHMO, ab initio, DFT) of Conjugated Polymers

Opto-electronic Applications of Rigid Rod Conjugated Polymers

Photo-voltaic Applications of Conjugated Polymers

My research contributions may be considered under the following headings.

Research at SQU

With a generous start-up support of £25,000 secured via inter-institutional transfer of my

EPSRC grant held at the University of Cambridge, I set up a new Organometallic

Research Laboratory at SQU and equipped it over the years with facilities for the

synthesis and chemical characterization of conjugated polymers. This laboratory provides

research opportunities and training to B.Sc., M.Sc. & Ph.D. students, technicians and

young faculty members in organometallic polymer chemistry resulting in a credible

Polymer Research Group at SQU. I present the research findings of my group regularly at


of 31

major international conferences and publish in high impact factor journals. My SQU-

based research has resulted in 52 journal publications and 40 conference presentations.

Research Collaborations

I have developed long-term collaborative research programs between SQU and several

European Universities. International collaborations have been very cost-effective in

promoting polymer research at SQU as well as training young Omani staff overseas.

Under the collaborative program, research associate and Ph.D. students are able to

undertake research visits at: the University of Bath, the University of Cambridge, UK.,

Potsdam University and at Bayreuth University, Germany.

Summer Research Activities

I conduct summer research activities in the Cavendish Laboratory, University of

Cambridge and in the Department of Chemistry, University of Bath. My summer

research visits have been immensely beneficial to SQU. I brought research support worth

over OR 100,000 to SQU over the past fifteen years via inter-institutional transfer of

chemical, glassware, equipment and spare parts from my external grants. I supervised the

M.Sc. and the Ph.D. project of our technical staff, Mr. Mohammed Al-Suti and am

supervising my international Ph.D. student Mr. Hakikulla H. Shah at the University of

Bath as part of my summer research activities.

increasing international recognition. I remain sole recipient in the Chemistry Department

of the highly competitive and prestigious Royal Society Visiting Fellowship and the Royal

Society of Chemistry Award for International Authors in 2004. I received the RSC Award

in recognition of my contribution as a primary author and a senior international referee for

the RSC journals over the years. I was awarded a Visiting Professorship by the University

of Bath, UK for several years in recognition of my contribution to chemical education and

research. During the Visiting Professorship in 2004, I initiated, negotiated and secured

recognition of the Royal Society of Chemistry for the SQU Chemistry degrees, including

the new Applied Chemistry degree. Consequently, the Chemistry Department takes the

lead in the College of Science in gaining International Recognition of its Curriculum and I

feel honored to be solely associated with the RSC Recognition process. I was the first

SQU faculty to be awarded the PMI-2 Grant by the British Council, UK for Research

Cooperation in the Gulf States. I was listed as the 2nd most cited Materials Scientist

among the 57 OIC Member States in 2007 with 1977 Cumulative Citations and 149

Cumulative Impact Factor for my published papers. The achievements clearly speak

for my leadership role in research and development in Chemistry at SQU.
