I earned my PhD in Biochemistry from the Faculty of Sciences of Tunis in 2012 and currently serve as an Associate Professor at Imam Mohammad Ibn Saud Islamic University in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. My research centers on the valorization of waste and biomass for food, pharmaceutical, and environmental applications, with a strong focus on unlocking the nutritional and medicinal potential of plant-based resources. I specialize in the extraction, separation, and chromatographic characterization of bioactive compounds, while also developing and optimizing innovative extraction techniques. My work further explores their antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anticarcinogenic activities, aiming to advance the development of functional foods and health-promoting products. I serve as Associate Editor for Food Bioscience (Elsevier, IF 5.9), Quality Assurance and Safety of Crops & Foods (Codon Pub, IF 5.3), and the Euro-Mediterranean Journal for Environmental Integration (Springer, IF 2.1). In addition, I am a member of the editorial boards of Grain & Oil Science and Technology, Food & Nutrition, Bioactives, and the Journal of Oasis Agriculture and Sustainable Development.
