Ahmed Barhoum has received his BSc and MSc degree from Helwan University (HU) and Central metallurgical and research institute (CMRDI). In 2007, Barhoum has been appointed as assistant lecturer at Chemistry Department, Helwan University (HU). In 2012, Barhoum moved to Grenoble Institute of Technology to work on synthesis of nanostructured pigments for high performance coating. Then, he moved to Department of Materials and Chemistry, Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) to work on synthesis of nanostructured materials for high performance coating, multifunctional fabrics, and molecularly imprinted polymer. In 2015, he joined the Institute of Technical Chemistry at Leibniz University Hannover to work on the fabrication of macroporous and nonporous nanostructured particles for hydrogen production and photocatalytic applications. Barhoum is the recipient of the FWO-Research Foundation Flanders Scholarship (2015), Medastar Erasmus Mundus Program Scholarship (2012), Welcome Erasmus Mundus Program Scholarship (2012), Campus France Scholarship (2012). Barhoum has been appointed as potential reviewer of some journals including ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, Crystal Growth & Design, Cellulose, and Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials.
