EDUCATION
Hesham’s academic path showcases his deep commitment to sustainable energy solutions and environmental impact. Beginning with a Bachelor’s in Mechanical Power Engineering from Aswan University in Egypt, 2012, he established a solid technical foundation that propelled him into advanced studies at the Egypt-Japan University of Science and Technology (E-JUST). In September 2019, he earned his Master of Science in Chemical and Petrochemical Engineering from E-JUST, where he continued his studies toward a Ph.D. in the same department. His doctoral research focused on concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) solar energy and heat transfer applications. Driven by his ambition, Hesham has contributed to multiple research projects funded by the Science and Technology Development Fund (STDF) and the European Commission (EC), further solidifying his role in advancing renewable energy technologies.
