EDUCATION

RESEARCH FIELD

Dr. Sameh Samir Ali 's main research field is environmental science and engineering, and his research direction is to develop advanced technologies for the utilization of some recalcitrant organic wastes, uniquely by the biological conversion pathway and their biotransformation into biofuels using highly efficient natural lignocellulolytic conversion systems (e.g. wood-feeding termites). Integrating bioremediation and biorefinery technology is truly considered as a new concept for constructing a biodiesel production system, particularly from a new type of renewable organic wastes or pollutant feedstock. Furthermore, the utilization of dye-degrading oleaginous yeasts isolated from termite would potentially pave a new avenue in developing a robust, competitive third-generation biodiesel production system simultaneously with bioremediating our environment from those organic wastes.
