Biography

Dr. Abu Bieh is a researcher in the Photo Chemistry Department of the Egyptian National Research Center. He obtained his PhD in photocatalysis and nanotechnology of nano titania and worked formerly as an assistant researcher in the Air Pollution Department, Environmental Research Division from 2002- 2008. There he worked on the monitoring and assessment of air pollutants and improving the quality of air under environmental protection projects funded from Environmental Protection Agency, and Polish Academy Of Science And Technology. Recently, he joined three in-house research projects that deal with the photocatalytic degradation of volatile organic compounds, and carbon dioxide photo chemical reduction by naturally occurring titania photocatalysts. Dr. Abu Bieh is interested in semiconducting nano materials and the effects of physical and mechanical factors that can affect of photocatalyst behavior form degradation to selective chemical transformation. He is also familiar with doping and electrocatalysts support for photocatalytic air purification and self cleaning surface materials for photocatalytic degradation of indoor air pollutants like nitrous oxide and sulfur dioxide. Dr. Abu Bieh is a volunteer in multiple non-governmental organizations that are working on environmental impact assessments and scientific dissemination to the public. He delivers general lectures to preparatory, secondary, high school, and undergraduate students in his home university (Ain Shams University) in Cairo.
