Biography

Dr El-Dessouky is a Senior Research Fellow in Composites at Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre, University of Sheffield, UK. Dr El-Dessouky received his BSc, MSc, PhD degrees in Physics from Mansoura University, Egypt. He has around 25 years’ experience in multidisciplinary areas of research include Fibres, Polymers, Nano-additives, Technical textiles and Composites. Since 1999, he published 55 papers in high quality international journals and conferences. He had a patent on novel spread tow prepreg for thermoplastic composite applications. He had 3 book chapters on textiles treatment, carbon fibre spread tow and 3D composites manufacturing. He is a reviewer and an editorial board member for many journals in the field. He is a member of Fibre Society, SAMPE and IOM3-British Composite Society. From 2013 to date at the University of Sheffield AMRC, Dr El-Dessouky have established the thermoplastic and dry fibre/textile processing research activities for composite preforming applications. From 2006 to 2013, he worked for University of Leeds as a research fellow on different research projects include fibre spinning, nanocomposites and textile composites. From 1996 to date, he is a professor in applied physics (on leave) at Mansoura University in Egypt.
