Mansoura University, Faculty of Science, Chemistry Department | Egypt
Dr. Ola Ahmed El‑Sayed El‑Gammal is a Professor of Inorganic Chemistry at the Faculty of Science, Mansoura University, Egypt. She holds an M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Chemistry (Inorganic) from Mansoura University and has accumulated more than three decades of academic and research experience, progressing from Demonstrator to Full Professor. Her prolific research portfolio spans the synthesis and structural elucidation of metal‑ion complexes, thiosemicarbazones, hydrazones and Schiff‑base ligands, employing advanced techniques (FTIR, UV‑VIS, NMR, mass spectrometry, TGA/DTA, AAS, conductance, magnetic measurements) and computational tools (DFT molecular modelling, molecular docking). She has published over 3 documents and garnered in excess of 114 citations, achieving an h‑index of 3, evidencing sustained scholarly impact. Her work covers applications in corrosion inhibition, environmental remediation, biomedical cytotoxic studies and sustainable agriculture, and she has supervised dozens of M.Sc. and Ph.D. theses. Recognised internationally, she features in the Stanford‑University “Top 2% of the world’s scientists” list across multiple years, and has received awards such as the Mansoura University Scientific Excellence Award. Through leadership in teaching, curriculum development and laboratory innovation, Dr. El‑Gammal continues advancing inorganic and environmental chemistry at the interface of academia and industry.
