An experienced academic and professional in chemical and nuclear engineering with expertise in nuclear fuel management, radioactive waste disposal, and material degradation. Over a decade of experience includes setting up advanced laboratory facilities for handling spent nuclear fuel (SNF) and radioactive materials, conducting inspections, managing safety standards, and contributing to strategic approaches within the field. Demonstrates a strong teaching background as an adjunct professor delivering courses on thermodynamics, process engineering, reaction kinetics, and plant design. Holds a PhD in Chemical Engineering from the University of Nottingham, UK, with research focused on membrane selectivity; complemented by an M.Sc. in Chemical Engineering specializing in reverse osmosis desalination. Research contributions include advancements in non-oxide nuclear fuels and material degradation under combined stressors such as corrosion and irradiation. Seeks opportunities to further contribute to the fields of nuclear engineering or academia through roles emphasizing innovative research or high-level technical leadership.

Led the establishment of a laboratory facility designed to handle spent nuclear fuel (SNF) and radioactive waste, incorporating measures to address radiation safety and contamination control. Contributed to the development and implementation of a strategy for SNF disposal in geological repositories, ensuring compliance with industry standards. Conducted planned and reactive site inspections, evaluating safety submissions and overseeing adherence to nuclear safety protocols. Managed discrete intervention projects and participated in emergency exercises to enhance preparedness and response capabilities within the organization. Developed strategic approaches aimed at ensuring high standards in nuclear fuel preparation while monitoring policy implementation within assigned responsibilities. Undertook research projects focused on the advancement of non-oxide nuclear fuels, contributing to innovations in reactor fuel technology.

I am passionate about teaching science to students from all backgrounds, and I have continuously developed my teaching skills from the time I was an undergraduate. My interest in teaching undergraduates extends back over a decade: As a postgraduate at University of Nottingham, I served as a Teaching Assistant in introductory chemistry lab courses. Additionally, I participated in the teaching preparation program at Ain Shams University,
