Education and training

Date January 2019

Title of qualification awarded Ph.D. (Organic Chemistry): NC State University, Raleigh, USA and Aswan University, Egypt. Principal subjects/occupational skills

covered.

• Develop machine learning models using autoQSPR with diverse molecular descriptors (1D, 2D, 3D, etc.) to accurately predict properties, reducing the need for extensive synthesis and testing. (see link)

• Dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), include developments of new molecular engineering motifs with and without metals, utilizing strong electron donor and strong electron acceptor with different -spacers, which showed high efficiency dyes (photosensitizers) for converting solar energy into electricity.

• Perovskite-based solar cells (PSCs), include developments of novel dopant-free spiro hole-transporting materials (HTMs), which produced more photocurrent than the reported benchmark spiro-MeOTAD, using inexpensive starting materials, which have a great potential for commercialization. (see link)

• Performed many sophisticated synthetic organic chemistry reactions such as Suzuki coupling and Knoevenagel condensation successfully, which required special reaction conditions such as high pressure and very low temperature (-78 C).

• Molecular modeling of new chromogens, using quantum mechanics such as high-level density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) with large basis sets and hybrid energy functional. (see link)

• Fabrication and characterization of DSSCs using incident photon-to-current conversion efficiency

(IPCE), J-V curve, SEM, impedance spectroscopy and electrochemistry. 2

Additional skills and subjects • Different types of fabric dyeing and finishing techniques such as singing, desizing, scouring, bleaching, mercerization, dyeing, printing, mechanical finishing.

• Chemical cationization of fabric: Monomer (DADMAC) treatment of fabric with atmospheric plasma or thermal initiator to introduce a graft polymerized network into the fabric with durable antimicrobial properties, and color fastness properties.
