Biography'':  Dr. Alaa El Din Mahmoud''' is currently an academic staff in Environmental Sciences Department of Faculty of Science at Alexandria University. His research focuses on Interdisciplinary Environmental issues which are related to water/wastewater treatment, nanotechnology and green chemistry. He was elected as a member counselor for Ph.D. students at Friedrich-Schiller Jena University (DR.FSU) from 2017 to 2019. In addition, he was a mentor for international students within the International mentoring program at the same University in Germany for three years.

He has many international publications. He has participated in many workshops and conferences in Egypt, Greece, Germany, USA, Luxembourg, Spain, China, Canada, etc. Furthermore, he was the chair of the technical session: “Recent Advances in Wastewater Treatment” (9th IWA International Young Water Professionals Conference 2019 (IYWPC)) in Toronto- Canada, the member of the scientific committee in  National Ph.D. students day 2019 in Ouarzazate-Morocco, the member of the technical committee in International conference on Energy Development and Environmental Protection (EDEP 2017, Guilin, China).

In 2013, he was recognized by Alexandria University during the Day of Excellence for scientific contributions in “teaching & research”. He received many awards like: -National Commission Young Scientists Award from UNESCO - Man and the Biosphere program. -2018 American Chemical Society Award for Environmental Chemistry Division” -“DAAD Award for conference and lecture travel in two consecutive years 2018 – 2019”.

Among his current activities, Dr. Mahmoud is one of the external Advisory board members in the International Journal of Social and Scientific Research (IJSSR) and a reviewer for several prestigious journals in Elsevier, Springer, RSC society and MDPI. -- '''Activities & achievements '''
