Proessor M. M. Mohamed was born in Egypt. In his early childhood, he lived in a popular district of Cairo, named Sayeda Zeinab. In his middle age, he joined Ibrahiemia Secondary School, which is one of the most prestigious Schools in Cairo. As an adolescent, he was a regionally ranked junior football player. In 1979, he was enrolled in the Faculty of Science/Cairo University/Egypt. In 1983, he managed successfully to get the B.Sc. degree in Chemistry with a very good grade (Hons.). At 1986, he was appointed as a demonstrator at the Chemistry Department of the Faculty of Science/Al Azhar University (Assuit branch). In 1988, he got his M.Sc. degree in Analytical Chemistry. In 1989, he moved to Belgium, University of UIA, to perform his Ph.D. to work in the field of Catalysis, under the guidance of Prof. E. F. Vansant. His work there was focused on Silica Supported Molybdena catalysts, to investigate their surface and catalytic characteristics, as well as on Cu exchanged zeolites for CO/H2 separation. After his return in 1992, he was appointed as a lecturer at the Chemistry Department of Faculty of Science/Al Azhar University (Assuit branch). Four years later (in 1996), he got a grant to join the Catalysis Research Centre of Hokkido University/Japan as a post-doctor fellow. Over-there, he performed potential research work related to gold and platinum clusters encapsulated inside mesoporous silica (FSM-16), in collaboration with Prof. M. Ichikawa. In 1999, he moved to Benha University, to take up the position of Assistant Professor of Physical Chemistry (Surface Chemistry and Catalysis). In 2004, he was promoted to the position of Professor of Physical Chemistry. Subsequently, he was seconded to Umm Al Qura University/KSA. There, he was teaching and carrying out research in the field of nanocatalysis. In 2013, he returned to the home (Benha) university, resuming his teaching and research activities at the Chemistry Department. in 2019, he was appointed as vice dean of student affairs' till the late of 2021. Then he moved to EJUST as a Dean of BAS school starting from 8-5-2022.

International Conference

Conference Papers Statement of attendance of International scientific symposia or workshops I attended many conferences while I was in a sabbatical leave in Belgium and during my stay as a post-doctor fellow in the Catalysis Research Center (CRC) in Japan. In addition to some conferences held in Cairo at the university of Al-Azhar and Mansoura universities. During my stay in Japan, Many Seminars have been presented about my work carried out there, that was very much concerned with CLUSTERS formation inside zeolites. The types of clusters that were well suited inside zeolites were Au and Pt those manufactured as a wire-like structure of magnificent properties correlated to magnetic and catalytic applications. I also attended two workshops corresponding to NMR, 13C-NMR as well as using multimedia in research and teaching activities. They were held in Cairo and American Universities, respectively.

Courses Teaching

Professor of Surface & Catalysis • Taught Surface & Catalysis, an undergraduate course averaging 120 students per semester, covering the following topics: This course deals with structure of solid surfaces, adsorbate overlayers, physical and electronic properties of surfaces, bonding and reactions of atoms/molecules on clean single crystal surfaces, kinetics and thermodynamic aspects of surfaces, adsorption and catalysis on surfaces, surface science approach to heterogeneous catalysis, imaging and spectroscopic methods of investigating clean surfaces and surface processes, photoelectrochemistry and electrocatalysis on surfaces. Course will cover a brief introduction into surface tension and specifically going through adsorption isotherms and particular stress to Langmuir, BET and Frundlish ones. Then catalysis, with particular stress on contrast and comparison between homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis was touched. Catalytic cycle, then the kinetic laws related to the different main catalytic mechanisms. At the end, the main methods for the preparation of heterogeneous catalysts are addressed, distinguishing between bulk catalysts and supported ones, and mentioning the problematic of their scaling-up. Different processes are surveyed and situated in the context of industrial processes related to petrochemistry, fine chemistry, environmental protection (air and water depollution) and biomass conversion. Then, are addressed the principles dictating the efficiency of catalysts; • Developed quizzes, exams, and homework • Revised the syllabus to meet accreditation standards • Coordinated grading and labs with a team of 4 teaching assistants Umm Al Qura University, Makkah, Saudi Arabia 2004 to 2013 Professor, Chemistry Department Professor of Physical Chemistry • Similar to what mentioned above beside teaching 101 physical chemistry courses, post graduate course (nanothermodynamics) as well as technical writing that cover how to write a manuscript and a patent. • The nanothermodynamic topics are chosen from a list of journal articles provided by me and my students. The evaluation criteria are mostly based on the ability of the student to reproduce some of the results presented in the article or the ability to construct a scientific discussion of the topic of choice. Clarity of presentation based on the difference with that of the bulk is usually raised. Reproduction of calculations, originality, and critical analysis of the references used contribute to a high evaluation mark. The report should be between 3 and 6 pages long and written so that any other student enrolled in this course can understand it. Developed quizzes, exams, and homework • Revised the syllabus to meet accreditation standards • Coordinated grading and labs with a team of 4 teaching assistants Benha University, Faculty of Science, Benha, Egypt 1999 to 2004 Assistant Professor, Chemistry Department Assistant Professor of Surface & Catalysis • I taught a thermodynamics course for undergraduate students. This course provides an introduction to the most powerful engineering principles you will ever learn: Thermodynamics, the science of transferring energy from one place or form to another place or form. We will introduce you to the tools you need to analyze energy systems, from solar panels to engines, to insulated coffee mugs. More specifically, we will cover the topics of mass and energy conservation principles; first-law analysis of control mass and control volume systems; properties and behavior of pure substances; and applications to thermodynamic systems operating at steady state conditions. An average of 120 students per semester: • Developed quizzes, exams, and homework • Revised the syllabus to meet accreditation standards • Coordinated grading and labs with a team of 4 teaching assistants
