My research centers on the ecology and
ecophysiology of aquatic plants, as well as their
use in wastewater treatment, and wild relatives
of cultivated plants in development areas.
Special emphasis is put on plants threatened by
extinction, and a refuge garden was established
in the Botanic Gardens of TAU in order to
investigate them and restore them into their
original sites. A second activity involves the
biology and ecology of desert plants, and
biological interactions between various species.
