Professor R. El-Mallawany is an Emeritus Professor of Solid State Physics at Menofia University, Egypt. He has taught physics for undergraduates & postgraduates for nearly four decades and has supervised and examined Ph.D. and M.Sc. theses at Egyptian and Arab Universities. He has also cooperated with American, European, and Asian universities concerning experimental & theoretical contributions in optical, electrical, thermal, elastic, and vibrational aspects of condensed matter physics Semiconducting Glasses. Prof. El-Mallawany both serves as a reviewer for international journals and has published numerous cited scientific articles, book chapters, and a handbook.



Furthermore, Prof. El-Mallawany has deepened his involvement in the international community through organizing and advising materials science and glass conferences. He has been invited by the European Office of Aerospace Research & Development (EOARD) to present several seminars in his area of expertise, andby the International Materials Institute (IMI), USA to present five video seminars to help researchers all over the world. Prof. El-Mallawany is a consultant for a number of universities regarding evaluation of scientific work leading to professorship in solid state physics. He has been the recipient of three Egyptian national awards.
