Prof. Ahmed El-Gendy

Ahmed A. El-Gendy, Ph.D. of Physics, Heidelberg University, Germany, 2011 Assistant Professor, Director of Nanomagnetics and Biomaterials Lab., Department of Physics, University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP), El Paso, Texas 79968, USA Dr. El-Gendy has been working in the field of magnetic nanoparticles for 18 years. His research expertise includes synthesis, characterization and applications of functionalized magnetic nanoparticles. He received his Ph.D. degree in physics from Heidelberg University, Germany 2011. From 2012-2017, He worked in various research positions on both levels academic and industry, as a postdoctoral researcher and senior scientist at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU), Virginia (2012-2013, 2015-2017), Nanofoundary LLC., and University of Delaware (UD), Delaware (2013-2015), USA. In fall 2017, he joined department of physics at UTEP as tenure track assistant professor to establish his group in nanomagnetics and biomaterials. His work interests focus on synthesis and optimization of soft and hard magnetic nanomaterials using chemical and physical methods to be used for various types of applications such as hyperthermia treatment for cancer, drug delivery, contrast agent for MRI, rare‐earth free permanent magnets, data storage, and magneto‐caloric for refrigeration technology. He has published more than 60 high impact scientific papers in peer-review journals and book chapters.
