I am Dr. Hamdy Ali, a dedicated researcher and lecturer based in Cairo, Egypt, with over a decade of experience in phycology and algal biotechnology. I hold a PhD from Cairo University, where my research focused on enhancing lipid production from microalgae and converting them into biodiesel. My professional journey includes significant roles at the Egyptian Atomic Energy Authority, where I have specialized in the isolation and identification of microalgae and cyanobacteria, and the cultivation of various species for bioactive compound extraction. Additionally, I have worked as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Universiti Malaysia Terengganu, furthering my expertise in marine algae. I am proficient in English and Arabic, and I possess strong skills in laboratory techniques, project management, and research writing. My academic foundation is strengthened by a Master’s degree from Sohag University and a Bachelor’s degree with honors in the sciences.
