obtained his PhD in materials science from UKM, Malaysia, in 2012. He joined QEERI, HBKU, in February 2016 and is currently working as a scientist at the Water Center, serving as the lab focal point for the Water Innovation Lab. He has researched thin-film devices, microwave heaters, and metal oxide nanostructures.</p> <p>Additionally, Al-Gaashani has extensively researched carbon nanotubes, graphene oxide, activated carbon, biochar, zeolite, and limestone composite materials for wastewater treatment over the past seven years. His research is focused on developing new water filters, particularly high-quality activated carbon from biomass wastes for water treatment. Al-Gaashani has published over 24 peer-reviewed papers, which have been cited by 2,703 papers, and has an h-index of 14.</p> <p> </p> </p> </div> </div> </div> </div>  <div class="bg-grey-01 px-4 rounded-3"> <div class="cmn-accordion-1 accordion accordion-flush" id="accordionExample">  <div class="accordion-item"> <h2 class="accordion-header"> <button class="accordion-button" type="button" data-bs-toggle="collapse" data-bs-target="#collapse-1" aria-expanded="true" aria-controls="collapse-1"> Education </button> </h2> <div id="collapse-1" class="accordion-collapse collapse show " data-bs-parent="#accordionExample"> <div class="accordion-body text-text-grey"> <div class="mb-4 pb-lg-2"> <h6 class="mb-3">PhD Degree on Materials Science</h6> <p class="mb-3">National University of Malaysia (UKM); (Bangi/Malaysia). </p> <p class="text-medium">2012</p> </div> <div class="mb-4 pb-lg-2"> <h6 class="mb-3">MSc</h6> <p class="mb-3">King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals (KFUPM); (Dhahran/Saudi Arabia).</p> <p class="text-medium">2008</p> </div> <div class="mb-4 pb-lg-2"> <h6 class="mb-3">BEd in Physics/Mathematics</h6> <p class="mb-3">IBB University; (IBB/Yemen). </p> <p class="text-medium">1999</p> </div> </div> </div> </div>  <div class="accordion-item"> <h2 class="accordion-header"> <button class="accordion-button collapsed" type="button" data-bs-toggle="collapse" data-bs-target="#collapse-2" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="collapse-2"> Research Interests </button> </h2> <div id="collapse-2" class="accordion-collapse collapse " data-bs-parent="#accordionExample"> <div class="accordion-body"> <ul class="list-style-1 my-0"> <li>Nanomaterials and Nanocomposites</li> <li>Carbon materials</li> <li>Graphene oxide</li> <li>Activated carbon from biomass</li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> <div class="accordion-item"> <h2 class="accordion-header"> <button class="accordion-button collapsed" type="button" data-bs-toggle="collapse" data-bs-target="#collapse-3" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="collapse-3"> Experience </button> </h2> <div id="collapse-3" class="accordion-collapse collapse " data-bs-parent="#accordionExample"> <div class="accordion-body"> <div class="mb-4 pb-lg-2"> <h6 class="mb-3">Assistant Professor</h6> <p class="mb-3">Physics Department, Faculty of Education; Thamar University.</p> <p class="text-medium">May 2013 to Feb. 2016</p> </div> <div class="mb-4 pb-lg-2"> <h6 class="mb-3">Head of Physics Department; Faculty of Education</h6> <p class="mb-3">Thamar University.</p> <p class="text-medium">May 2014 to Feb. 2016</p> </div> <div class="mb-4 pb-lg-2"> <h6 class="mb-3">Tutor (Part-time)</h6> <p class="mb-3">Department of Physics and Astronomy; King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals (KFUPM).</p> <p class="text-medium">Oct. 2005 to Feb. 2008</p> </div> <div class="mb-4 pb-lg-2"> <h6 class="mb-3">Demonstrator/Assistant Lecturer</h6> <p class="mb-3">; Physics Department, Faculty of Education; Thamar University. </p> <p class="text-medium">Sept. 2000 to Sept. 2003</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="accordion-item"> <h2 class="accordion-header"> <button class="accordion-button collapsed" type="button" data-bs-toggle="collapse" data-bs-target="#collapse-4" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="collapse-4"> Selected Publications </button> </h2> <div id="collapse-4" class="accordion-collapse collapse " data-bs-parent="#accordionExample"> <div class="accordion-body"> <ul class="list-style-1 my-0"> <li><p><a href="https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-024-66965-3" target="_blank">Manawi, Y., Al-Gaashani, R., Simson, S., Tong, Y., Lawler, J., & Kochkodan, V.
