Mohamed Sabry Abdel-Mottaleb

M. Sabry A. Abdel-Mottaleb received his B.S. and M.S. degrees from Ain Shams University, Cairo, and his Dr.rer.nat. degree from Friedrisch Schiller University, Jena. Since 1973, Sabry Abdel-Mottaleb has supervised 66 research students that led to M.S. and Ph.D. degrees being awarded in spectroscopy, material (nano) sciences, applied photochem, and environmental photochem including photocatalysis, drug stabilities, and chemical solar cells and solar chemistry. About 90 research publications have appeared in the literature, and about 20 invited lectures have been given. He has active collaborations with several international laboratories, and has a major collaboration with groups in Europe (France, Portugal, Spain, Swiss, and UK), North African Countries (supported by EU grants), and the USA. In 1993, he has received a grant of two million Egyptian pounds (650k$ US) to establish the Photoenergy Center. Amongst other activities, Sabry is a Member of the Egyptian National Committee of New and Advanced Materials and a Member of the Egyptian Standing Scientific committee of Promotion to Professorships. He has organized and chaired nine international conferences “Solar Series, Nanotech Insight 05, 07” and five international workshops on environmental photochemistry, starting from 1991 till 2007. He has also organized in collaboration with the UN ICS-UNIDO, Trieste, Italy, three international workshops on PV applications for Middle East Countries (2000–2002). Sabry’s research has been recognized through the award of the Egyptian State Prize of Encouragement for Chemistry, 1984, and the State Decoration of Science and Arts (first rate), 1985. He has also held visiting professorships to several international laboratories in different countries: DAAD, Stuttgart, 1984; Muelheim, 1988; Heinrich-Heine Stiftung, Max-Planck Institute, Muelheim, 1992; ICTP and ICS, Trieste, Italy, several times during 1991–2004; and the British Council, 1997 in Southampton and 2000 in Brighton. He received the National Belgium Science Foundation award, KU, Leuven, 1987.
