Email: hfouly@clemson.edu
Office: 843-662-3526 x233
Cell: 217-819-9309

Department:
Entomology, Soils, and Plant Sciences
Pee Dee Research and Education Center

Education:
Ph. D., Plant Pathology (minor in Plant Virology) 1991, University of Illinois
M.S., Plant Pathology (minor in Plant Bacteriology) 1982, University of Cairo
B.S., Plant Pathology, 1977, University of Cairo

Responsibilities:
Diagnosis of plant diseases, identification of Plant Pathogenic Nematodes, and evaluation of breeding lines for disease resistance.

Research interest:
Plant Pathology: Disease diagnosis by classical and molecular techniques (Take-all Diseases of Turfgrasses), Development of Fungicide Programs for Turfgrass Disease Management. Life Science: Cellular and molecular mechanics and bionanotechnology for agricultural, food, and medical applications. Work involves design and development of nanoliposomes and using label free sensors of monitoring or both drug and gene delivery.
