Dr Khaled Mohammed

Dr. Khaled Mohammed grew up in Egypt and began his academic journey with a BSc (2001) and an MSc (2007) at Sohag University, Egypt, followed by a Ph.D. at the University of Southampton (2010-2014). His doctoral research, conducted under the supervision of Professor John Evans, focused on cutting-edge supported metal/metal oxide nanoparticles for catalytic applications in vehicle exhaust systems.

Following his Ph.D., from 2013 to 2015, Dr. Khaled Mohammed worked as a "Research Associate" in the Department of Chemistry at University College London (UCL) with Prof. Sir C. Richard A. Catlow (UCL) and under the guidance of Prof. Robert Raja (Southampton). Subsequently, he served as a "Lecturer" at Sohag University from 2015 to 2019. Since late 2019, he has been a "Research Fellow" in the School of Chemistry at the University of Southampton, initially working on the GCRF-START project (2019-2021) under Dr. Peter Wells, and later on an EPSRC-funded project led by Dr. Peter Wells, Dr. Marina Caravetta and Prof. Chris Skylaris. Throughout his academic journey, Dr. Khaled has honed his expertise, particularly in leading research projects in Synchrotron Methods for Catalysis, with a focus on sustainable energy applications.

Dr. Khaled Mohammed's expertise lies in using in situ/Operando methods, such as XAFS and MAS solid-state NMR, to understand structure-activity correlations in catalysis for sustainable energy and environmental applications.
