Dr. Sherif A. Younis is an associate professor at the Egyptian Petroleum Research Institute (EPRI). He joined EPRI as an assistant researcher in 2007, received an M.Sc. in Chemistry and Biochemistry from Mansura University (Egypt) in 2010, then a Ph.D. degree in Applied Chemistry from Ain Shams University (Egypt) in 2013. In 2016, he joined Laboratoire de Chimie de Coordination (LCC)-CNRS, Université de Toulouse (France) as a postdoctoral (one year) on a research project related to applied materials science in environmental chemistry and renewable/green energy (H2) production. In late 2017, he was assigned as a lecturer in the petrochemical program at the Faculty of Science, Mansoura University (Egypt). In 2018, he moved to the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering at Hanyang University (South Korea) for two years, performing multidisciplinary research studies on environmental nanotechnology and air purification/ pollution control. In 2021, he joined the faculty staff (as an assistant professor) of nanotechnology for postgraduate studies at Cairo University, Egypt. The research interests and activities of Dr. Younis are in the field of applied materials science in environmental and energy fields within the interface of environmental chemistry, renewable energy, and chemical engineering. The research interests of Dr. Younis are related to applied materials science in multidisciplinary fields, such as environmental nano-(bio)-technologies, air pollution control, water/wastewater treatment, soil reclamation, sustainable environmental management, colorimetric/electro-sensing, photo/thermal catalytic applications, waste-to-resources conversion, CO2 capture/conversion, VOCs adsorption removal, energy harvesting, and renewable/green fuel production. His work also involves mathematical modeling for equilibrium, kinetics, thermodynamics studies, and experimental data interpretation using various statistical analyses and models. The comprehensive research contribution to these areas led to the publication of more than 105 articles (experimental and review papers) in peer-reviewed ISI and SCOPUS-indexed Journals, two research patents, two book chapters, Top 2% of World-Ranking-Scientists by Stanford-Elsevier 2023 & 2024, and a silver medal award at the 2nd Beirut International Innovation Exhibition - BIIS 2021. Besides, over the past decade, he has participated as (i) a membership/ co-principal investigator in many research projects; (ii) editorial board member (EBM) in 4 scientific journals published by MDPI, Universal Wiser Publishers; (iii) Guest Editor of the special issue “Advances in Materials for Separations: Energy and Environment” in the MDPI-journal /Separations/ (IF: 3.344, ISSN 2297-8739; ranks 37/87 (Q2) in the "CHEMISTRY, ANALYTICAL" category, indexed by Scopus and Web of Science); (iv) supervisor of 8 graduate students (M.Sc. and Ph.D.); (v) an invited speaker in more than 26 scientific workshops and conferences; (vi) a reviewer for more than 20 peer-reviewed ISI, Scopus/WoS-indexed journals, and (vii) a technical committee member for multiple international conferences.
