Dr. Hussein Mahmoud Fahmy [1/8/1948] occupies the position of Professor of Physical Chemistry in the Chemistry Department of the faculty of science Cairo University Egypt where he has been teaching since 1970. In 1986 he was awarded the "State Prize in Chemistry" which is one of the highest and most distinguished national awards in Egypt. At the beginning of his career, he was assigned by both the Egyptian and French governments for post-doctorate research for a period of one year (1976-1977) in the laboratory of Prof. G. Cauquis at the University of Grenoble (France), where he worked on the electrooxidation of substituted Thiazoles in non aqueous media at rotating disc electrodes. In 1978 he was seconded to the American University in Cairo to lecture on "Science and Technology in Ancient Egypt". In the period from November 1979 to January 1980 he rejoined Prof. G. Cauquis group as visiting lecturer (Maitre de Conference). In the period 1990-1992 he was appointed as Research scientist I in the Research Institute of King Fahd University in Dhahran Saudi Arabia. Dr. Fahmy has sponsored about 28 Ph. D and

M. Sc. theses, and formed a school of Polarography and Electroorganic Chemists in the same department. His research interests involve the Electroreduction processes of heterocycles containing both the hydrazono and activated olefinic moieties in aqueous (mainly) and non aqueous media, electroorganic synthesis and the study of reaction mechanisms of organic electrode processes at the DME and Hg pool cathodes and others. He has published over than 70 papers in these fields. Finally, it is worth mentioning that he has been active member of the Royal Society of Chemistry-Britain since May 1986, and is carrying the title of C.CHEM (Chartered Chemist).
