He was educated as a Chemist at King Faisal University, Saudi Arabia (1995), and got his PhD from the University of Sussex with Professor Mark C Bagley (2013). His research involves the development of novel organic synthetic methods, especially using a relatively short reaction time to synthesised heterocyclic targets in high yield efficiently under microwave-assisted organic synthesis (MAOS) conditions and using Suzuki Coupling reactions for the development of a procedure for "palladium-catalyzed cross coupling," as an organic chemistry process, which enables the synthesis of large carbon-based molecules.
