Employment History

as Teacher:

Assistant lecturer, Zoology Department, Faculty of Sciences, Sohag University (2009).

I have teaching experience (from 2004 to 2012). I taught courses such as practical animal physiology (Hematology and introduction of blood chemistry) and (Nerves and muscle contraction) at that time I was responsible for laboratory teaching tasks. All courses are taught in English Language. Demonstrator, Zoology Department, Faculty of Sciences, South Valley University (2004). (Sohag University)

Language Proficiency:

Completed French certificate from literary Faculty (Sohag University).

Completed TOEFL from language center, Sohag University.

Training programs

Several training programs for the development of skills of faculty members and center leaders (research team management, research ethics, strategic planning, legal and financial aspects in University environment, code of ethics, effective presentation and use of technology in teaching). (Sohag University) Radioactivity training course. (UAB)
