The College of Science and Technology consists of Science and Technology departments (Chemistry and Chemical Technology, Department of life Sciences and Medical Technology, Computer Science, Information Technology (Dual Studies), Mathematics, and Physics).
The College of Science and Technology consists of Science and Technology departments (Chemistry and Chemical Technology, Department of life Sciences and Medical Technology, Computer Science, Information Technology (Dual Studies), Mathematics, and Physics). Science probes the essence of things, and technology benefits humankind by applying its findings. We at the College of Science and Technology believe that the two definitely cannot be separated from each other, and consequently have taken their fusion as our philosophy of education.
In modern society, which is characterized by the fast-paced advancement of science and technology, researchers deal with a diversity of new issues. Out of a belief in the need for the basics under these circumstances, the College of Science and Technology has prepared a curriculum emphasizing fundamentals. More specifically, there are many basic science classes in the first and second years. Studies center on specialized courses in the third year, and students heighten their capacity for thinking and solving problems on their own initiative through graduation research and design in their fourth year. Upon graduation from undergraduate studies, many students go on to graduate school. The graduate school produces researchers who acquire a more sophisticated ability to discover and resolve problems through more specialized studies and are equipped for extensive activity in society. The academic programs are designed to achieve excellence in education, tailored to be dynamic that evolve in line with future changes, and are thoroughly planned to prepare students for future careers and graduate studies.
To assist in achieving these goals, the faculty is equipped with modern laboratories for scientific research in various fields of science and technology. We believe that the modern university requires extensive attention and communication to academic and research cooperation at the local, national and global level. We also developed cooperative relations and interaction with the local community, industry and the private sector.
The College of Science and Technology is located on Abu Dies Campus, which is close to the city of Jerusalem and offers a fine environment with an abundance of green. We strongly encourage prospective students to visit the Campus.

Teaching philosophy:
After 26 years (1994 – 2021) of teaching and supervising graduate and undergraduate students and working very hard to be an excellent lecturer, I have decided to move from being lecturer to be a MOTIVATOR. Currently, I do not believe in the learning efficiency of lecture room teaching. The real learning happens in the research lab, in the library, or in the course of community work. Learning by doing, trial and error are the mottos of successful education. I have to teach skills and knowledge. The best education is through real projects. Therefore, my role as a Motivator is to motivate students to go to the lab, to do research lab, to go to the library, to communicate with the community, to explain physics for non-science students, to enhance the physics literacy of the university students and of the community. In addition, I am determined to fulfill the levels of knowledge (knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation) among the students. Always, I am doing my best to convey knowledge in the sense of wisdom, paired with ethics and responsibility.
On-going research:
(I) Currently, I am working on developing my Monte Carlo code (Barghouthi model) in order to investigate the effects of altitude and velocity dependent wave – particle interactions by using our recent findings (Nilsson et al., 2012 a, b, see publications list). We will use this updated model to study the ion outflows in the polar wind and auroral regions. In addition, a comparison between the results of this Monte Carlo code and the results of other models is under investigation.
(II) It is a very challenge project, the project of investigating the double-hump distributions in the solar wind. The Puzzle of fast solar wind (i.e., Helium ions are faster than Hydrogen ions in the solar wind) still unsolved issue, because heavier ions are expected to move slower than lighter ions in the solar wind. I am planning to build up a Monte Carlo code to investigate the physics of the solar wind. In specific, I am interested to study the effects of Coulomb collisions and wave – particle interactions on the H+ ions outflow in the solar wind. I have the potential to do that because there are many similarities between the physics of the polar wind (my expertise area) and the solar wind. Because of this research, I will be able to explain (theoretically) the observed H+ double-hump distributions in the solar wind and provide an explanation to the fast solar wind.
(III) Also, I am planning to modify my Monte Carlo code for the behavior
of O+ ions in the ionosphere by including the effects of NO+ molecular ions and other molecular ions. Knowing the exact behavior of O+ ions in the ionosphere is very important to the community of space communications.
Publications (Total 57 ): I have been involved in 2 lines of research:
Line 1: The field of theoretical space plasma physics, 42 papers in leading journals.
Line 2: The interdisciplinary fields of scientific literacy, education, and Islam and science, 15 publications in local and regional journals.

Working in the field of infectious diseases is extremely important and considered a research priority, I work with colleagues in the Arab countries, especially Libya, Syria, Yemen and Sudan. My research since more than ten years ago was concentrated in the following fields:
• Epidemiology and diagnosis of Leishmaniasis disease in Palestine and the Arab countries
• Molecular biology and population genetic analysis of vectors of infectious diseases, principally vectors of Leishmaniasis using genetic markers (microsatellites, mtDNA and ITS).
• Spatiotemporal and molecular epidemiology analysis of cutaneous leishmaniasis in the Mediterranean.
• Epidemiology of Scabies disease in Palestine
• HIV research in Palestine
• Anti-bacterial and anti-parasitic activity of extracts from Palestinian medicinal plants.
