Hamdy F. M. Mohamed in Washington, DC
|
Hamdy F. M. Mohamed, a physics professor at El-Minia University
in Egypt, recently spent six months at Wayne State University
in Detroit, Michigan learning more about American culture and
the accomplishments of his colleagues in the field of physics.
He worked with Professors Talbert S. Stein and Walter E. Kauppila
on positron interaction with atoms and molecules using a slow
positron beam system, a method that is not yet available in Egypt.
"I took about one month to learn the experimental set-up,
analyze data and make the experiment more automatic using LabVIEW
software," said Mohamed. "I gained a lot of new information
in my host laboratory that will definitely have a good effect
on my future work." Mohamed stated that his goal, upon return
to Egypt, is to construct a slow positron beam system in his country.

Dr. Mohamed had the opportunity to participate in the Division
of Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics (DAMOP) 2002 meeting
in Williamsburg, Virginia with his hosts from Wayne State University.
During the symposium he spoke to a number of other scholars and
attended a lecture about the Nobel Prize for physics.
He also spent some time sightseeing with his colleagues, stopping
briefly in Washington, D.C. to see the White House, the Pentagon
and the Capitol.
