Prof. Tarek Ibrahim
Biography
Professor Tarek Ibrahim is a professor of physics at the University of Science and Technology. He is also the director of the physics of universe PU program. He became the Dean of Academic Affairs at ZC since 2017.
Ibrahim started his academic life in 1985 when he received his Bachelor of Science degree, excellent with honor, from the faculty of Science, Alexandria University.
In 1991 he earned his first Master of Science degree in solid state physics from the same school. Professor Ibrahim joined Northeastern University NEU, Boston, MA, USA in 1992 where he obtained his second Master degree in Physics in 1995, and then he received his Doctor of Philosophy degree PhD in High Energy Physics HEP from the same school.
In 2011, he received his Doctor of Science degree DSc from Alexandria University upon the recommendation of three Fellows of Royal Society FRS of London, UK. Ibrahim began his career as a teaching assistant at Alexandria University in 1985, then an assistant lecturer in 1991. In 1998, he held the position of assistant professor and the position of associate professor in 2003. He was appointed as a full professor in 2009 in the same physics department of the Faculty of Science, Alexandria University.
Research Areas
The principal area of Prof. Ibrahim research is the phenomenology of N = 1 supersymmetric theories. Within this supersymmetric framework several topics have been explored.
These include explicit CP and T violations arising as a consequence of large phases from the complex couplings in the soft supersymmetry breaking sector of supergravity. Implications of these for a wide range of SUSY phenomenology were investigated.
These include the electric dipole moments of the electron, the muon, tau neutrino, top quark and the neutron, direct detection and density of dark matter, anomalous magnetic moment of muon,
