Prof. M.E. Medhat
Egyptian Atomic Energy, Nuclear Research Center, Cairo, Egypt
Biography:
Dr. Medhat is a distinguished Professor of Experimental Nuclear Physics with extensive international experience spanning Egypt and China. Currently based in China, where he has worked since 2012, Dr. Medhat holds positions at leading institutions including the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (UCAS) International Education Center (SinowJ), Yinghao College (Guangzhou), and Jining Confucius International College (Shandong). Prior to his work in China, he served at the Egyptian Atomic Energy Authority and contributed significantly at the American University in Cairo.
Dr. Medhat 's expertise lies at the intersection of experimental nuclear physics and advanced computational methods. His PhD research focused on the modern utilization of accurate gamma-ray spectral analysis techniques using HPGe detectors, conducted at Zagazig University in cooperation with the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR), Dubna, Russia. He further honed his skills during a Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) in Beijing (2012-2015).
A recognized technical leader, Dr. Medhat has made substantial contributions to software development in nuclear science. He has designed and implemented critical packages including: a Gamma-ray Spectrum Analysis and Neutron Activation Analysis system (PGSA), automation systems for Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA), codes for diagnostics in Irradiation Channels, and pioneered the use of neural networks for predicting photon attenuation in massive targets. His work extends to radiation protection and dosimetry, where he served as an expert for Egypt's Ministry of Health.
His leadership experience includes roles as Head of the Nuclear Reaction Laboratory at Egypt's Nuclear Research Center and Coordinator of the Compton-Suppression Spectrometer Lab. Dr. Medhat possesses a strong technical skillset encompassing programming languages, graphics/web design, operating systems, and specialized scientific software. An active researcher, Dr. Medhat has authored 61 publications, including 20 in international journals and 41 in conference proceedings. His work has been presented at numerous international conferences, and he has been a key contributor to the Geant4 Monte Carlo simulation project at CERN.
