Educational background includes:

• Ph.D. in Plant Ecology and Systematics from Old Dominion University
• M.S. in Soil Microbiology from University of Khartoum
• B.S. in Agriculture (Honors) from University of Khartoum

Research focuses on:

• Systematics and taxonomy of parasitic Orobanchaceae
• Climate change impacts on invasive plant distributions
• Conservation implications of plant-parasite interactions
• Field-based botanical education methodologies

Recent publications examine:

• Lycophyte morphology and evolution
• Undergraduate field education in Tanzania
• Genetic diversity of Striga populations
• Global invasion risks of parasitic plants
