Biography
Dr. Khaled Mahmoud is Senior Scientist in Water Chemistry and Nanotechnology at the Qatar Environment and Energy Research Institute (QEERI). Prior joining QEERI, he worked as Research Officer in Biosensors and Nanobiotechnology at the Biotechnology Research Institute/National Research Council (CNRC), Montreal, Canada. He was the Director of Science & Technology at Bio Vision Technology Inc., Montreal, and an Assistant Professor at Faculty of Engineering, Port Said University. He obtained his PhD in Materials Science from University of Saskatchewan, Canada (2007) and MSc in Analytical Chemistry from Suez Canal University, Egypt (2003)
Dr Mahmoud research interest focus on the engineering and synthesis of functionalized nanomaterials for multidisciplinary applications including sustainable water treatment, energy storage, solar energy, environmental monitoring, nanocatalysis, and enhanced oil recovery applications. He is specialized in the synthesis and surface functionalization of 2D- carbon nanomaterials including MXene, graphenes, cellulose nanocrystals, and metal oxides.
Dr. Mahmoud is a member of the American Chemical Society (ACS), Canadian Society for Chemistry (CSC), Cellulose and Renewable Materials, ACS Colloids and Surface Sciences. He is co-author of 46 peer-reviewed papers, 5 book chapters, 2 patents, and 3 patent applications. He is recipient of The Excellence Award, NRC Montréal, Canada (2011); NSERC fellow, CNRC Canada.
