I am Professor Khalid M. Al-Absi. I am currently working as a Professor of plant physiology and fruit science at the University of Mutah since 2010. As a Prof. at the University of Mutah, I have gained valuable experience in teaching and supervision of graduate students. I taught many courses for under graduate and postgraduate students in the various horticultural sectors especially, plant physiology, fruit science, principles of horticulture and post harvest physiology. I got my Ph.D from University of Jordan in 2000. I spent a sabbatical leave (September 2010- July 2011) at University of Kentucky, USA. Furthermore, I got a scholarship for 3 months from University of Humboldt, Berlin, Germany. My course research has covered a wide range of topics in the various plant issues (Use of wastewater and non-conventional saline resources, stress physiology and plant growth regulators). In addition, I visited and lectured at many universities in Italy, Germany, Greece Spain and Lebanon. I have published many articles in international peer reviewed journals (C.V attached). I have sound knowledge of date palm cultivation. I was a partner in an international project funded by Tempus (EU, 800,000 euro, 2014-2017).."
