I am a geoscientist interested in research and education in structural geology, geophysical applications, and geospatial information sciences. I have an undergraduate geology and MS degrees from the University of Khartoum and a PhD from the University of Texas at Dallas. My research focuses on the tectonic evolution of rift systems and orogenic belts, and morpho-tectonics. Results of my research are presented in 104 publications (83 peer-reviewed), 92 invited presentations, and 211 abstracts with a total citation of 3426, h-index of 33, and i10 index of 59 (Scopus, August, 2021). I taught over 80 classes in the geosciences and geospatial information sciences at UT Dallas (August 2000 – July 2006), Missouri S&T (August 2006 – May 2012) and Oklahoma State University (August 2012 – May 2021). Besides, I have mentored 12 PhD and 15 MS students to successfully complete their graduate degrees. Currently, I am supervising 3 PhD and 2 MS students. I served as the Geosciences Graduate Advisor at UT Dallas between August 2005 and August 2006, the Geology and Geophysics Graduate Coordinator at Missouri S&T between September 2006 and May 2009, and I have been serving as the Geology Graduate Coordinator at Oklahoma State University since July 2013. Additionally, I have been active in the US and African geoscientific communities. I served as proposals evaluator and manuscripts reviewer for many national and international funding agencies and journals. I served as the President of the Geological Society of Africa between 2001 and 2004, and currently, I am serving as the Co-Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of African Earth Sciences, and as a member of the editorial board of the journal of International Geology Review. I was elected a fellow of the Geological Society of America in May 2008 and a fellow of the Geological Society of Africa in November 2008. I received the Missouri S&T Faculty Excellence Award in December 2008. I also received Oklahoma State University Outstanding Graduate Coordinator Award in April 2017.
