He devoted all his time to serving and teaching the profession of medical imaging, so he taught most of the workers in this field in Palestine. Because he was distinguished in the field of medical imaging such as rays, ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging, and he studies all the courses offered according to the study plan, he was not allowed to enroll in doctoral programs in Japan or in Belgium, despite his acceptance. The reason for Al-Quds University’s refusal to allow him was that he was alone in the department and there was no for him An alternative and the department will be closed in case he goes to study. He established the first internet lab at the College of Health Professions and gave several lectures on how to use advanced technology to present information to students. He worked as a registrar for the College of Health Professions, dealing with all problems related to registration files and programs.

He received his Ph.D. MS and bachelor degree in Pharmacy from the Hebrew University. He was an Assistant Professor at the University of Toledo and University of California for 5 years where he worked with Professor T.C. Bruice in the bioorganic chemistry field. Professor Karaman is broadly interested in the design and synthesis of prodrug systems to be used for the delivery of certain drugs that have poor water solubility or/and have low bioavailability as well as synthesis of prodrugs for masking the bitter sensation of commonly used drugs. The prodrug design is executed using ab initio, DFT, semiempirical, molecular mechanics as well as molecular dynamics and conformational dynamics methods. The overarching goal of Karaman’s research activities is to establish a method for obtaining prodrugs that their interconversion rates will be controlled or programmed by the chemical features of the linker (promoiety) attached to their active parent drugs. Professor Karaman has more than 180 peer-reviewed manuscripts and book chapters; 140 of them were published in the recent 9 years. He is currently an editor and an editorial board member of more than 50 international journals in the areas of pharmaceutical sciences.

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.

A key component of his work is medical image processing and analysis, where he applies advanced computational methods to support disease detection, diagnosis, and clinical decision-making.
His research frequently incorporates advanced architectures such as ensemble learning, transformer-based models, and hybrid AI approaches that combine machine learning, causal inference, and human-in-the-loop decision-making. In addition, he is actively involved in research on electroporation treatment planning, focusing on computational modeling, optimization, and data-driven approaches to improve treatment efficacy and personalization in medical interventions.
A significant strand of his research addresses digital health systems and health informatics in resource-constrained and fragile settings, with particular emphasis on data governance, privacy-preserving AI, ethical AI deployment, and cross-border research collaboration. He is especially interested in how AI and digital platforms can enhance disease prevention, early detection, and personalized health awareness, while remaining aligned with regulatory, ethical, and cultural frameworks in the MENA region.
Beyond health, Prof. Qasrawi actively researches innovation ecosystems, entrepreneurship, and technology transfer, examining how universities can function as engines for applied research commercialization, startup creation, and cooperative business development. He is the founder and director of the Al-Quds Business Center for Innovation, Technology, and Entrepreneurship. His work explores models that link academic research with incubation and acceleration programs, SME support mechanisms, and the development of digital skills, freelancing platforms, and innovation hubs to support youth economic empowerment.
