Positions and Experience

Positions:

  1. In 1995 I was appointed as a demonstrator at the Chemistry department, Faculty of Science, AssiutUniversity.
  2. In 2002 I was promoted to an assistant lecturer at the Chemistry department, Faculty of Science, AssiutUniversity.
  3. In 2009 I was promoted to a lecturer at the Chemistry department, Faculty of Science, AssiutUniversity.
  4. In 2010 I was working as a postdoctorate at Pierre D. Harvey's lab at University of Sherbrooke, QC, Canada.

Instrument Experience

During the study for the M. sc. at Assiut University and Ph. D. at Université de Sherbrooke, I was responsible for conducting the experiments and maintenance of the following instruments:

  • Hewlett-Packard diode array UV-visible spectrophotometer model 8452A
  • Varian Cary 50 UV-visible spectrophotometer with powder cell holder
  • Double monochromator Fluorolog 2 instrument from Spex
  • TimeMaster Model TM-3/2003 apparatus from PTI
  • Flash photolysis with a Luzchem spectrometer using the 355 nm line of a YAG laser from Continuum (Serulite).

Research

Research for the degree of M. Sc.:

The research within the course of the study for the master degree involved UV-Visible spectroscopic investigation on the charge-transfer complexes between some azole and azine donors with σ- and π-electron acceptors. The study involved calculation of the formation constant of the donor-acceptor systems at different temperature and in different solvents. The thermodynamic parameters and the ionization potential of the donors were estimated, as well, based on the spectroscopic band of the formed charge-transfer complexes.

Research for the degree of the Ph. D.:

The research within the course of the Ph. D. involved photophysical studies on some dyad and tryad systems as well as inorganic polymers for photonic applications. The studies carried on the investigated compounds were achieved by recording the emission and excitation spectra using a double monochromator Fluorolog 2 instrument from Spex. The excited state lifetimes of the studied systems have been obtained using a TimeMaster Model TM-3/2003 apparatus from PTI. The source was nitrogen laser with high-resolution dye laser (FWHM ~ 1400 ps) and the fluorescence lifetimes were obtained from deconvolution or distribution lifetimes analysis. The analysis of the triplet state for the examined systems were done by measuring the flash photolysis spectra and the transient lifetimes were measured with a Luzchem spectrometer using the 355 nm line of a YAG laser from Continuum (Serulite), and the 530 nm line from OPO module pump by the same laser (FWHM = 13 ns).
