About me:
During the last 10 years, I was involved in several projects related to Emulsification of silicone oil in water in agitated tanks and high shear devices, Hazardous solid waste management, medical waste management, environmental impact assessment, mixing in the pharmaceutical industry and its related environmental impact. In addition to these, I supervised and being an internal and external examiner for more than 14 M.Sc students, eight of them are in the safety related areas Additionally, I was involved in several consultation projects in emulsification of silicone oil, the Hazardous, medical and household solid waste management and Environmental impact assessment. Since 2008 I am the coordinator of the University general safety committee. I am responsible of approving the safety rules inside the University labs and organize safety workshops for university labs’ technicians and outside university institutions. In addition, I developed accidents investigation report, which is used in all university labs.
During my enrolment in the editorial board of Process Safety and Environmental protection Journal, I do read papers submitted to the Journal in my area of specialty before choosing referees for the paper.
