I completed my PhD in July 1989 at the University of Savoie in France, analyzing data from the L3 experiment at the CERN research center, Geneva, Switzerland Subsequently, I held a research position at CERN from 1990 to 1996 From 1996 to 1998, I worked at the Italian Institute of Nuclear Physics (INFN) in the ZEUS experiment at the DESY research center in Hamburg, Germany In 1998, I moved to Syracuse University in the USA, where I contributed to the CLEO3 experiment at the Wilson Lab, Cornell University From 2000 to 2008, I served as a faculty member at Temple University, Philadelphia, USA, where I participated in the DRIFT experiment for Dark Matter search at the Boulby mine in the UK and the BaBar experiment at the PEP accelerator at SLAC Center, Stanford University
In 2009, I began a Professor visitor position at Sultan Qaboos University, Oman The following year, I started a faculty position at the University University, where I am currently employed Presently, I serve as the president of the Particle Physics Lab within the Physics department of the Faculty of Science and coordinate the Tabuk research group at the Belle and Belle II experiments at the KEK center in Japan
During my tenure at the University of Tabuk, my main achievements include:
1) Installation and operation, at KEK center, of:
a) Installing and operating the Large and Belle II Vertex Detector (VXD) cosmic trigger system at the KEK center
b)
2) Implementing a motorized system at the King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre (KFSHRC) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, to streamline X-ray dosimetry practices
Training numerous Saudi researchers at our Particle Physics Lab, with approximately 15 undergraduate and graduate students participating in research projects at KFSHRC and KEK centers in Japan We also attracted researchers and students from Saudi universities and neighboring countries
During my stay in Tabuk, I authored around 210 papers, almost all of them published in Q1 journals with Impact Factors (IF) ranging from 5 to 9 These papers have amassed approximately 10,380 citations, with an average of 50 citations per paper The collective h-index of these papers is 42
