Amir Fahmi

Amir Fahmi is a professor since 2011 at the Rhein-Waal university of applied science, he started his research career end of the 90s (1998/1999) with his Diplomarbeit under the supervision of Prof. Dr. med. Werner Jaroß and Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Karl-Heinz van Pée at the Institute for Klinische Chemie – Universitätsklinikum Carl Gustav Carus at the Technical University (TU) Dresden. He was appointed as a research fellow at the Institute for Biochemistry with Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Karl-Heinz van Pée at TU Dresden. Then he was awarded a PhD scholarship (2000-2003) under the supervision of Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Manfred Stamm (TU Dresden) in the field of Physical Chemistry of Polymeric Nanostructured Materials at the Institute for Polymer Research (IPF) Dresden and the Max-Planck-Institute for Polymer Research (MPI) Mainz. Then he received post-doctoral fellow as a member of nanoscience group in the department of physics at the University of Nottingham (GB). In 2005 Dr. Fahmi established as a senior research fellow (assistant professor) at the University of Nottingham his own research group at the department of manufacturing, materials and mechanical engineering within the Nottingham Innovative Manufacturing Research Centre (NIMRC). With his multidisciplinary group, he pioneered several concepts and key aspects in the fabrication of nanostructured materials via self-assembly of (bio) -polymeric materials and inorganic nanoparticles. He holds five granted patents and has published over 100 peer-reviewed papers in international journals, conference proceedings, text book (Polymere – Chemie Und Strukturen) and chapters in books in different materials structured fields.
