Biography

Dr Ghanem obtained his PhD (1998-2002) from University of Southampton (UK) in field of synthesis, characterizations and applications of nanostructured materials. Then he spent 8 years postdoctoral researcher between Southampton and Bath University.   Joint KSU in 2012 as Associate Prof. of physical chemistry and his research interests focusing on porous and nanomaterials, electrochemical methods, electro- and photo-catalysts, high throughput electrochemistry, surface modification, biosensors and nanotechnology. Published about 55 papers, 4 patents and gave about 15 conference presentations and supervised about 8 master and PhD students. The h-index is 19 with 1940 total times of citation. Currently, he is active member of ISE, and work as associate editor for Journal of Saudi chemical society and recently founder and editor for Arab Journal of Physical Chemistry.  Also have national and international collaboration with KACST (KSA), university of Bath and Southampton (UK).
