Biography
My research interests span the areas of colloidal nanotechnology and materials science. I got my PhD degree in physical chemistry from the University of Hull, UK in 2004 under the supervision of Profs Paul Fletcher and Bernard Binks. My PhD work at Hull has been rewarding and productive and my study was concerned with using solid nanoparticles as simple and multiple emulsion stabilizers and exploring their behaviours at liquid-liquid interface. I also spent 2.5 years doing a very productive post-doc specialization in Prof. Vesselin Paunov research group at Hull, 2006-2008 where the research was focused on cutting-edge materials science, involving fabrication of polymeric magnetic Janus microparticles as well as colloidal nanoparticles for enhancement of magnetoresistance of composite magnetite/polymer films. From 2010-2013, I worked as associate professor at King Sauid University (KSA). The collaboration with Prof. Paunov was further extended through the Newton Researcher links travel grant funded by British Council during June 2015–Nov 2015 within his research group. I was promoted to full professor in physical chemistry in 2019 at Minia University and helped to expand our colloid and advanced materials group (CAM) founded by Prof F. Taha.
