About

Prof. Sobhi Mohamed Gomha, a distinguished figure in the field of organic chemistry, completed his M.Sc. and Ph.D. in organic synthesis of bioactive heterocyclic compounds at Cairo University, Egypt, in 2002 and 2006, respectively. He was promoted to Associate Professor in 2011 and became a full Professor at Cairo University in 2016. Since January 2019, he has been leading the chemistry department at the Faculty of Science, Islamic University of Madinah, Saudi Arabia.

His research, spanning from 2000 to March 2026, includes 400 original research papers and books focused on synthetic heterocyclic chemistry with applications in medicine, energy, water treatment, and industry, utilizing green chemical technologies such as Microwave Irradiation, Ultrasonic Radiation, Grinding, and Ionic Liquids. His work has been cited approximately 8100 times up to March 2025, earning him an h-index of 58. Prof. Gomha has supervised 21 MSc and 10 Ph.D. theses, contributed as an Editorial Board Member to 48 scientific journals, reviewed papers for 150 different journals, evaluated the scientific production for the promotion of 10 faculty members, and assessed 7 Ph.D. theses.

His excellence in research was recognized in 2015 with the best paper prize in heterocyclic chemistry from the Egyptian Heterocyclic Chemistry Society (E.H.C.S). He has also received multiple certificates of appreciation from Cairo University for distinguished scientific publication annually from 2008 to 2024 and for distinguished scientific publishing (more than 10 research papers) from 2015 to 2024. His contributions to science have placed him among the top 2% of the world's scientists in annual rankings by Stanford University from 2019 to 2026.
