I joined the National Institute of Oceanography and Fisheries (NIOF) as a Research Assistant in April 1976. I got my Master Degree in Oceanography from the University of Alexandria (Egypt) in 1979 and Ph.D. in 1985 from the Institute of Hydrometeorology, Russia. I have been appointed as Associated Professor of Physical Oceanography in 1991 and Professor in 1996. During my work in NIOF, I participated in many national and international projects, coordinated several important activities, taught and supervised graduated and post graduate students. During the period 1995-1998, I joined the Regional Organization for the protection of the Marine Environment (ROPME) in Kuwait as specialist of Marine Environment. I undertook the duties of the Programme Officer which includes coordination and follow up of programmes relevant to environmental monitoring and assessment of the ROPME Region. I also participated in several activities including the planning for an Open Sea Cruise, updating the ROPME Manual of Oceanographic Observations and Pollutants Analyses Methods (MOOPAM) and fellow up of the Quality Assurance Programme. Arrangement and coordinating several scientific meetings, workshops, and conferences related to the marine environment and Fisheries. During 1999-2001, I was the Deputy Director of NIOF for the administration affairs. My duties were: management of the administration units including employee, stores, engineering facilities, etc..; Official representative of NIOF for delegation of the interested areas of the Institute (projects, branches and research stations), and other external authorities.

Chair of IOCAFRICA. Also I was a representative of Egypt to CIESM during the period 2006-2010. During my scientific work, I have attended several national and international workshops, meetings, conferences, training courses and scientific missions. I published 58 scientific papers in national and international journals.
