About
Professor of Environmental Chemistry at the Egyptian Petroleum Research Institute (EPRI), with research experience across Egypt, France, and the Republic of Korea, including postdoctoral work at CNRS–Université de Toulouse (8 months) and a long-term collaboration with Hanyang University (since 2018). Research focuses on designing, characterizing, and applying functional materials and catalytic systems for environmental remediation, air-quality management, carbon capture and utilization, and sustainable energy conversion. Combines applied materials science, environmental and analytical chemistry, chemical engineering, and quantitative analysis to develop adsorption, catalytic, photocatalytic, photoelectrochemical, and advanced oxidation technologies. Research leadership includes principal-investigator and co-principal-investigator roles in competitively funded projects, international team coordination, postgraduate supervision, journal editorial service, and peer review. These contributions led to more than 125 research publications, two Egyptian patent records, four book chapters, and recognition on the Stanford–Elsevier World’s Top 2% Scientists list for 2023–2025.
