Bio
I’m Mohamed K. Mahmoud-Aly, an Assistant Professor of Plant and Algal Physiology at the Faculty of Agriculture, Cairo University, Egypt. My research focuses on harnessing the potential of green microalgae to address integral environmental challenges. Here’s a breakdown of my work:
1. Wastewater Remediation: I explore how green microalgae can efficiently clean up wastewater, contributing to environmental sustainability.
2. Valorization of Solid and Liquid Wastes: I investigate ways to convert waste materials into valuable resources using microalgae. This includes transforming organic matter into biofuels or other useful products.
3. Food Security: I study how microalgae can be cultivated as a nutritious food source, especially in regions facing food scarcity.
4. Fuel Production: I’m passionate about developing sustainable biofuels from microalgae, which can reduce our reliance on fossil fuels.
5. Air-Water-Soil Pollution Reduction: By understanding microalgae’s role in ecosystems, I aim to mitigate pollution
In my research lab, I have access to facilities for conducting algal experiments and performing biochemical and physiological analyses. I actively seek national and international collaborations to achieve our shared goals in this broad field. Currently, my focus lies on agricultural wastewater phycoremediation, a critical area for sustainable water management.
