Organizing a workshop entitled Power and beauty lie in small things the power of nanomagnets in high technology and cancer treatment
ERI organized a workshop entitled “Power and Beauty Lie in Small Things: The Power of Nanomagnets in High Technology and Cancer Treatment,” by Dr. Ahmed El Gendy, Professor of Physics and Director of the Biomaterials and Nanomagnets Laboratory at the Department of Physics, University of Texas at El Paso, at the Institute’s headquarters.
Dr. Sherine Abdel Qader Muharram, President of the Institute, said - in a statement today, Monday - “Organizing this workshop comes within the framework of communicating with scientists at universities and international research centers to support and develop scientific research, and build global cooperation and partnerships in the fields of scientific research through delivering public lectures and organizing workshops.” Scientific work and seminars,” stressing that organizing such meetings enriches the research community by benefiting from the contributions, ideas, and experiences of distinguished scientists in various sciences.
For his part, Dr. Ahmed El Gendy pointed out that nanomagnets are used as one of the methods used in treating cancer by generating heat inside cancerous tumors by applying an external magnetic field, which increases the temperature of the tumor to be treated by destroying the diseased cells.
He explained the areas of cooperation during the coming period between the Electronics Research Institute and the University of Texas, including supervising the lithium battery project, training trainees from the Electronics Research Institute in the University of Texas laboratories, and preparing a joint training program for those interested in the field of nanotechnology applications. In addition, an agreement is being made between the two parties to organize the third nanotechnology conference. .
On the sidelines of the workshop activities, Dr. Ahmed El Gendy made an inspection tour of the central laboratories, including the electronic circuit manufacturing laboratory, the electronic waste recycling laboratory, the battery manufacturing laboratory, the (XRD) device laboratory, the millimeter wave measurement laboratory, the specific absorption measurement laboratory, and the modeling laboratories. As well as reviewing the institute’s products and outputs.
Al-Jundi praised the institute's technological and scientific infrastructure, noting the institute's readiness to implement and supervise the semi-industrial clean room being established.
It is worth noting that Dr. Ahmed El-Gendy is considered one of the most important nanotechnology scientists in the world. He holds a doctorate from Heidelberg University in Germany in 2011, in addition to receiving many grants for post-doctoral research from prestigious universities such as the University of Virginia and the University of Delaware, and he has published more than 100 research papers. Among articles and books, in addition to his participation in more than 50 international conferences, he has more than one international patent, in addition to receiving many awards and scientific projects. He currently holds the position of professor and director of the Biomaterials and Nanomagnets Laboratory in the Department of Physics at the University of Texas El Paso in the United States of America.
