Biography

Wael Mamdouh obtained his BSc from Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt in 1997 with a major in chemistry. He worked in the pharmaceutical sector for three years in Egypt. He then went on to puruse graduate studies at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (K. U. Leuven) in Belgium where he obtained his master's and PhD in science and chemistry, in 2002 and 2005 respectively. In 2005, he joined the Interdisciplinary Nanoscience Center (iNANO) at Aarhus University in Denmark as assistant professor where he was in charge of one of the highly equipped state-of-the-art nanoscience and nanotechnology laboratories, the scanning probe microscope (STM and AFM)) activities under ambient conditions. In 2009, he joined the Department of Chemistry at The American University in Cairo as adjunct faculty and assistant professor. Mamdouh has also been appointed as guest professor since 2008 at two prestigious universities in China; Tianjin University (TU), Tianjin, and Henan University, Kaifeng. In 2011, he became a tenure-track assistant professor of nanotechnology at AUC. For the past ten years, Mamdouh has built up significant research experience in the field of nanoscience and nanotechnology where he was engaged in performing state-of-the-art nanoscience and nanotechnology research in a multidisciplinary research environment across many scientific fields such as chemistry, physics, biology, material science, and surface science.
