Biography
I am currently PhD student in the school of Chemistry, in the field of phytochemistry at the University of Leeds and a faculty member at Princess Nourah Bint Abdurrahman University in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. I am interested in studying natural products (plants and algae). I worked in the field of for natural products for more than ten years, during this time I registered a patent at the European Invention Office with the number EP-2848251 A1 entitled "Extracts and Isolated Compounds from Cakile Arabica for Treatment of Ulcer" and I published more than four research papers. I develop of sustainable methods for extracting, isolating, and purifying natural compounds from plants and find suitable applications for them in the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. In addition, I explore natural sources of biologically active compounds either from food waste, such as fruit peels and vegetable roots, or from their original sources.
