Biography:

Dr. Osama M. Farid Associate Professor of Chemical and Nuclear Engineer at Reactors Department, Egyptian Atomic Energy Authority(EAEA). Experienced chemical engineer; possessing over 20 years of professional and technical experience in academic and nuclear industrial sectors. I held many positions in the nuclear sector in design, construction, operation, decommissioning, safety appraisal in a safety case environment, with a sound understanding of the current nuclear industry context and understanding of relevant principles and practices. Many of the concepts I work with are based on materials processing, which is my core competency. My research includes nuclear fuel, immobilization of radioactive waste, membrane separation systems, and involves a combination of experimental and theoretical analysis. I involve in the safe and effective disposal and/or reuse of radioactive wastes from nuclear fuel cycle that makes nuclear power more efficient and cost-effective.

PhD University of Nottingham, UK - PhD Chemical Engineering, Dissertation title: Investigating membrane selectivity based on polymer swelling.

TEACHING & SUPERVISION

I am passionate about teaching science to students from all backgrounds, and I have continuously developed my teaching skills from the time I was an undergraduate. My interest in teaching undergraduates extends back over a decade: As a postgraduate at University of Nottingham, I served as a Teaching Assistant in introductory chemistry lab courses. Additionally, I participated in the teaching preparation program at Ain Shams University, where I taught integrated chemical engineering, process chemical engineering, and reaction kinetics. These courses and workshops have taught me strategies based on education research that are designed to accommodate all learners. Because of my training, I create a classroom environment in which students from all backgrounds can achieve their potential and learn to think as scientists.

Research Interests:

Nuclear fuel cycle, Radioactive waste Management, Waste Immobilization systems, National strategy for RWM, Membrane Separation, Chemical engineering principals, Plant Design and Economics for Chemical Engineers, Thermodynamics.
