Gamal Khater | Materials Science | Best Researcher Award Published on 19/09/202519/09/2025 by Cryogenicist Prof. Dr. Gamal Khater | Materials Science | Best Researcher Award Professor | National Research Centre | Egypt Prof. Dr. Gamal Abou-Elgheat Khater, Professor (Emeritus) of Applied Mineralogy and Glass Technology at the Glass Research Department, Inorganic Chemical Industries & Mineral Resources Division, National Research Centre (NRC), Egypt, is a distinguished scholar in applied mineralogy, glass science, and ceramic materials. He holds a B.Sc. in Geology and Chemistry from Mansoura University, followed by M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in Geology with specialization in mineralogy and glass-ceramic systems from Ain Shams University. With extensive professional experience, he has served as a technical expert and executive advisor to leading industrial organizations in Saudi Arabia and Egypt, alongside his academic leadership at NRC. His research focuses on the synthesis, characterization, and industrial applications of glass and glass-ceramic materials derived from natural and waste resources, contributing to sustainable materials science. He has led and participated in numerous national and international projects, supervised postgraduate theses, published over 80 peer-reviewed articles in high-impact journals, and secured patents on innovative glass technologies. Prof. Khater’s work has been recognized with multiple prestigious awards, including the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Award for Environmental Management, the NRC Awards for Scientific Encouragement and Research Outputs, and innovation prizes from international exhibitions. He is a member of leading scientific societies, a reviewer for international journals, and is listed in Marquis Who’s Who in Science and Engineering. His scholarly impact is reflected in Google Scholar metrics with 1,430 citations, h-index of 21, and i10-index of 40. Profiles: Scopus | ORCID | Google Scholar Featured Publications 1. Khater, G. A.
