"Amr Mohamed is currently an associate professor at the Center for Fundamental Physics (CFP) at Zewail City. Mohamed graduated in 1989 with a Bachelor of Science degree (Summa cum Laude) in nuclear engineering from Alexandria University, Egypt. In 1992, he joined Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), U.S. where he obtained his Master of Science degree in nuclear engineering. In 1994, he received his Doctor of Science degree in nuclear engineering from the same university. Throughout his career, Mohamed held various positions. He started his academic career in 1990 at MIT where he was appointed as a graduate teaching assistant. In 2003, he joined Alexandria University as an adjunct professor of nuclear engineering. Before joining Zewail City in 2014, Mohamed worked as a graduate research assistant at MIT in 1992. He later on joined Argonne National Laboratory, U.S. where he worked as a nuclear engineer in the reactor analysis division in 1995, and as a visiting scientist in the nuclear engineering division in 2009. Mohamed’s main research interest focuses on developing new physical concepts, mathematical models, and computational strategies applicable to the design and analysis of nuclear reactor cores, nuclear fuel cycles, particle detection, and related experiments. In recognition of his scientific efforts, Mohamed was the recipient of many awards including: the ANS Reactor Physics Division Best Paper Award, and the CEA Fellowship for the Frédéric Joliot Summer School in Reactor Physics. He was also the recipient of the Award for Academic Distinction for five consecutive years. Mohamed is a life member of Alpha Nu Sigma Honor Society, a member of the Egyptian Engineers Syndicate, a member of the American Nuclear Society, a member of the American Physical Society, and a deputy team leader of the Egyptian Network for High Energy Physics. He was also a member of the ANS Reactor Physics Program Committee, and the Sigma Xi Scientific Research Society."
