About
Islam Abdellah, Associate Professor of Organic Chemistry, Aswan University, Egypt & Editorial board member for Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Earned his PhD in Organic Chemistry from NC State and Aswan Universities (Joint supervision). Obtained M.Sc. in Organic Chemistry and B.Sc. in Chemistry with honors both from Aswan University, (Egypt). Joined Marine Environmental Laboratory (France) in 2010. Joined NC State University (USA) as Ph.D. Scholar in 2016. Worked as postdoctoral researcher at NC State University (USA), Department of Textiles Engineering, Chemistry, and Science in the period from 2022 to 2025. Islam research including three main subjects (1) Colorant removal using innovative, and low-cost adsorbents with potential for minimizing environmental impact, and reducing operational costs. (2) Conducting research in Machine Learning, Molecular engineering, Molecular docking, Molecular modeling (DFT/TD-DFT, abinitio), photophysics, electrochemistry and photovoltaic properties of organic materials for dyes-sensitized solar cells and hole transport materials for Perovskite Solar Cells to generate electricity from sunlight (3) Sustainable dyeing and finishing of different types of fabric, through chemical cationization (monomer treatment with atmospheric plasma or thermal initiator) to introduce a graft polymerized network into the fabric to improve it's color fastness properties, get fabric with durable antimicrobial properties and Self-extinguishing flame-retardant.
