Mohammed B. Effat

I joined the Editorial Board of Electrochemical Energy Conversion and Storage (specialty section of Frontiers in Energy Research) as a Review Editor. 

I delivered a 3 days training course on "boilers: theory of operation and energy efficiency" to ~ 20 attendees of engineers, technicians, and workers for the Nile Company for Oil & Detergents. More on the course can be found here.

A new paper has been published in Advanced Functional Materials. The paper is on the fabrication and performance of Ultrathin and Non‐Flammable Dual‐Salt Polymer Electrolyte for High‐Energy‐Density Lithium‐Metal Battery. You can check it from here.

A proposal submitted to the Academy of Science, Research, and Technology (Egypt) to support a graduation project on "thermal management of electric vehicle batteries" has been accepted for funding.

A credit-hour-based graduate course titled "heat and mass transfer in electrochemical systems" is designed and offered, for the first time, by Dr. Effat, in the Mechanical Engineering Department, Assiut University. 

Twelve undergraduate students, I supervised their graduation project, designed and assembled a small-scale lithium-ion battery (LIB) module, integrated with its battery and thermal management system.
Special thanks to the Academy of Scientific Research and Technology, Egypt, for their generous financial support that made this project possible.

I started a position as an adjunct assistant professor in the Egypt-Japan University of Science and Technology, E-JUST, for the Fall semester 2021/2022.

I started to act as a reviewer to Energy Advances Journal, by the Royal Society of Chemistry.

Pleased to supervise the graduation project of a group of 6 students in the Egypt-Japan University of Science and Technology. The students made the first prototype of an Electric Vehicle (battery powered) with a contribution in charging the battery pack from a PV module. Interesting!

Based on an invitation by the vice-dean for graduate studies and research in Faculty of Engineering, Assiut University, I delivered a public talk on study, research, and Life in Hong Kong. The talk addressed key topics important to undergraduate students, post graduate researchers, and postdoctoral scholar interested in knowing about Hong Kong.

I started to act as a reviewer to Frontiers in Chemical Engineering Journal. 

I started to act as a reviewer to the Journal of Power Sources.

I moved to the U.S. I joined Argonne to work on interesting research on lithium and lead-acid batteries technologies. I am doing modeling for both technologies and interact with experimentalists.

A paper on the anti-perovskite lithium solid conductors I co-authored has been published in the Journal of Materials Chemistry A. You can access it from: DOI 10.1039/D3TA03543C

A perspective paper on the data-driven battery design I co-authored has been published in the "Energy Advances" journal. You can access it from: DOI 10.1039/D3YA00137G

I attended the battery show 2023 at Novi, Michigan. It was interesting experience to talk with vendors from different battery industries and to see the recent developments in the battery field.

I attended the 16th AIChE Midwest regional meeting held at the Illinois Institute of Technology and presented my research work on modeling the passivation process of negative electrodes on lead-acid batteries. 

I also chaired the "Machine learning and Optimization" session in the conference.

I delivered a seminar on my research on "Battery Thermal Management" at the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI

I attended the 245th meeting of the Electrochemical Society at San Francisco, California and presented my research on modeling for lead-acid batteries.

​

I also co-chaired the session of "Large Scale Systems".
