University Committees
I have served in many committees. The following list does not include the confidential committees such as promotion committees and committees to select the best advisor, best teacher, and best researcher.
The list does not also include committees in which I served as an-ex-officio Member during my Chairmanship of the chemistry department, management of the center for applied physical sciences, or as the dean of the college of sciences.

Served in almost all committees in the chemistry department and worked on many special assignments by the Chairman of the department; e.g. the development of computer software for the department chemicals/glassware inventory. Trained several staff Members on the use of computers in the laboratory and chemical stores.
