Amro Babiker Hassan Eltayeb

I have been affiliated with the Department of Food Science and Nutrition at King Saud University since September 2019, where I have been appointed Professor in 2024. From 2012 to 2018, I worked as an Assistant Professor in the Environment and Natural Resources and Desertification Research Institute (ENDRI) at the National Center for Research (NCR) in Sudan. From September 2017 to August 2018, having earned a Swiss Government Excellence Scholarship for Foreign Scholars, I conducted research on food safety as a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Faculty of Science at Bern University.
My research broadly focuses on the application of physical treatments to eliminate pests that impact food storage, such as insects and fungi, and on how to improve the functional properties, nutrition, safety, and quality of agricultural products. I am also interested in the recycling of food waste and studying the utilization of agricultural waste products (e.g. from fruits, vegetables, and traditional foods) as a natural source of bioactive compounds.
Joining AGYA has a lot of social, cultural, and academic benefits. AGYA has a fabulous socio-academic network.

Within AGYA, I meet outstanding young scientists from diverse disciplines, who expand my perspective, enrich my knowledge, and, ultimately, enhance my academic performance.
