Teaching

I’ve taught physics at every level — from freshman laboratories to doctoral courses — across Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the United States, and I’ve built graduate programs and research groups from the ground up. Teaching, for me, isn’t separate from research: both are just careful ways of asking how the world works.

Graduate supervision

I established computational-materials-science research groups at Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University and at Zewail City’s Center for Fundamental Physics, and I’m building one now at GUC. Students supervised or co-supervised:

• 4 PhD students — Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University
• 2 PhD and 2 MSc students — Cairo University
• 1 MSc student — Alexandria University (Nuclear Engineering)
• 2 MSc students — Ain Shams University
• Undergraduate researchers at GUC, IAU, and Zewail City

Courses taught

• German University in Cairo — Physics I, II, III
• Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University (PhD, theoretical physics) — Mathematical Physics, Computational Physics, Statistical Mechanics, Numerical Methods in Physics, Advanced Quantum Mechanics, Chemical Physics
• Zewail City / Egypt Nanotechnology Center — Advanced Quantum Mechanics, Computational Materials Science, and course development across electrodynamics, statistical mechanics, applied quantum mechanics, and the modeling of nanomaterials
• Cairo University — Electrodynamics, Statistical Mechanics, Quantum Mechanics
• University of Pennsylvania — freshman physics (laboratories and tutoring; Distinguished Tutor Award in Physics, 2001)

Building programs

At Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University I led the creation of two Master’s programs — Nanotechnology and Biotechnology — and initiated PhD programs in materials science and biotechnology in partnership with universities in the US and the Netherlands.
