Nasser Afify

Dr. Nasser Afify is a Research Associate in Chemical Engineering at the University of Edinburgh's School of Engineering. His primary research focuses on computational chemistry, molecular dynamics simulations, and materials science with applications in carbon capture, photovoltaic materials, and nanocrystalline structures. He has contributed to studies on amine regeneration processes, clustering phenomena in solutions, and the optimization of glass-based photonic devices.

His work integrates advanced simulation techniques (e.g., molecular dynamics) with experimental insights to explore thermodynamic, kinetic, and structural properties of materials. Key areas include the behavior of aqueous amine solutions for carbon capture, microwave/infrared heating effects on liquids, and the microstructural evolution of nanometer-sized crystals.

Dr. Afify’s publications span over 20 years, reflecting a consistent emphasis on computational modeling of materials at atomic and molecular scales. Notable contributions include investigations into silicon-based photovoltaic devices and the structural analysis of doped glasses using XAFS and EXAFS techniques. His research bridges fundamental materials science with practical applications in energy and environmental engineering.

While no specific scientific awards or grants are explicitly listed, his prolific publication record indicates sustained academic engagement and collaboration within his fields. His lab affiliations and teams are not detailed in the provided text, but his work is likely conducted within the broader Materials and Processes research group at the University of Edinburgh.
