Ahmed Mourtada Elseman obtained a BSc, MSc, and Ph.D. in Inorganic and Analytical Chemistry from the Faculty of Science, Al-Azhar University, Egypt. He obtained a Ph.D. thesis for developing perovskite solar cells in 2017. He also obtained two diplomas in Solar Energy from Inner Mongolia Institute of Scientific and Technological, Hohhot, China, in 2015, and the Institute of New Energy, Wuhan, China, in 2017, respectively.

Presently, Dr. Elseman works as a research assistant professor at the Department of Electronic and Magnetic Materials, Central Metallurgical Research and Development Institute (CMRDI), Egypt. He was awarded a research fellowship under the Talent Young Scientific Program (TYSP) and received a lecturer position in the School of Materials and Energy, Southwest University, Chongqing, China (2018– 2020). His current research focuses on developing scalable protocols for high-efficiency perovskite solar cells.
