Research Interest
My research work centers around "Sustainable Management of Desert Ecosystems". I am focusing on the impact of CO2 enrichment on desert plants and the potentials for soil Carbon sequestrations in our environment. The vast array of the uses of desert plants (eg. landscaping; medicinal) is also one of my research interests.
