Meet the editors

Dr. ElSayed G. Zaki received his Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from the Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, Mansoura University, Egypt. Currently, he is a visiting researcher at the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, Iacocca Hall, Lehigh University, Pennsylvania, USA. He is an Associate Professor of Applied Chemistry in the Petroleum Applications Department, Egyptian Petroleum Research Institute.

He is currently an editorial board member for several reputed journals, a member of the Synchrotron-light for Experimental Science and Applications in the Middle East (SESAME), Organization for Women in Science for the Developing World (OWSD), and the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC).

Dr. Abdelghaffar S. Dhmees has been working as an assistant professor at the Department of Analysis & Evaluation, Egyptian Petroleum Research Institute, Egypt. He obtained a Ph.D. in 2015 with a thesis on the valorization of industrial waste to heterogeneous catalysts for biodiesel production. He is currently working on the synthesis of advanced 2D materials (e.g., MoS2, graphene, LDH, and its composites) for application in energy storage and

valorization of industrial waste and byproducts for the synthesis of adsorbents, catalysts, membranes, and photocatalysts for application in water treatment, petroleum stream purification, and biofuel production.
