C4. Teaching and Research

C4.1 Teaching:

My teaching strategy and methodology are centered on teaching the dynamic processes of

physics specifically in applied nuclear sciences. My teaching also based on action learning

process based of the use of the real regional and global problems related to different

disciplines of physics and means of problems solving solutions. The action learning is one of

the educational process by which a person studies his or her own action and experience to

improve performance by solving and finding solutions of some problem related to the

subject. Also, I have used examples to actual global problems in reference to our current

knowledge and designed research for undergraduate and graduate projects. I believe that this

philosophy of teaching has enabled me to reach the students in their understanding the value



of the subject. I always try to provide knowledge to the students at an international level and

encourage them to enjoy learning science through critical thinking enabling them to solve

puzzles and problems related to their team with close guidance while conducting experiments

inspiring and guiding them to exploit their knowledge in the use of available resources

whenever possible. Such mode of active learning has always motivated the student to utilize

valuable information for their future careers. The primary challenge in my teaching approach

is devising new and creative ways to design research project. This approach is intended to

create interest among student so that they are eager to find new means and ideas to their

overall understanding of current problems in our region for possible solutions. In addition my

goal is also for continuous improvement of my courses by incorporating the use of

multimedia including on-line web based applications and use of computer software to

enhance the learning experience of the students. This interactive process of teaching is

perhaps the most rewarding part of my work. I was a co-investigator on a project on virtual

tutoring in physics where an online environment for developing students metacognitive

problem solving skills is practiced in collaboration with college of education as state in

C6.10.

C6. Scholarly Achievements

C6.1 Research:

My undergraduate studies was in general physics science involving interdisciplinary areas of

condensed matter, semiconductor and nuclear physics. My work experience in Sudan Atomic

Energy Commission (SAEC) and the international training and fellowships provided by the

International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) have helped me to define my future research

interest. In the laboratory of SAEA, my work included nuclear instrumentations, XRD/XRF

techniques, Mössbauer spectroscopy, and Low level gamma radiation detection for

environmental studies. I did my master by courses in the field of condensed matter in

addition to graduation experimental project using Mössbauer spectroscopy. In the doctoral

research my focus was related the structural analysis of heme proteins using Mössbauer

spectroscopy Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) Magnetic Susceptibility and X-Ray Diffraction

Techniques. As a result, my master, doctoral research and my independent as well as my

collaborative interdisciplinary research have widened the scope of opportunities for

furthering my research interest as stated below and bared the fruits of internationals

recognition by being invited by several international institutions. This is highly encouraged

by the current SQU regulations .

I was a co-investigator in a strategic project on corrosion. The project resulted in generating a

corrosion map of a wide variety of metals and alloys in Muscat municipality. Currently I am

co-investigator in a TRC project together with Dr. S. El-Shafey, chemistry department,

college of science (see C6.10). The project aims to study the hospital wastewater treatment

using modified carbonaceous sorbents from Omani date palm leaflets. My contribution here

is to measure the level of the radioactivity in the wastewater using gamma ray spectroscopy.

Our final year student were engaged in many projects under my supervision and the output

have been published in the local and international journals. I have a wide international circle

of collaborators e.g. Vienna University (Austria), Lubeck University (Germany), Uppsala

University (Sweden), Khartoum University (Sudan) and Al-Zagazig University (Egypt); for

more details see section C6.9.



C6.2 PUBLICATIONS

My research involves characterizing materials with different specialized techniques. This is

why our group publishes multi-authored papers. In addition to being responsible for

performing and analyzing Mössbauer and magnetic measurements, my expertise in the XRD

and SEM techniques has also been utilized in these publications. Based on Google scholar

metrics, my papers have over 400 citations, h index of 11 and i10 index of 13. The impact

factors of the journals in which I published are listed in Appendix A.
