About

Dr Salama has a PhD in physical chemistry from the
University of Hull, United Kingdom. Before joining the CHDA team, Dr Salama
worked at the Chemistry Department at the University of Cambridge for about
three years as a postdoctoral research associate. He carried out industrially
focused research projects on multi-component additives formulations for BP.
Dr Salama has worked for several universities in the UK over
the last ten years. He worked as a chemistry lecturer at the Leeds
International Study Centre, Leeds Becket University. He delivered and developed
chemistry and biology learning resources for foundation students. He
contributed to the design of the International Year 1 biological science
undergraduate programme.
Dr Salama has also worked as a research fellow at the School
of Chemical and Process Engineering at Leeds University. He carried out several
industrially focused research projects in the pharmaceutical industry and drug
pre-formulations for AstraZeneca, GSK and Unilever. He carried out research
projects in the food corrosion science (Aston Martin) lubrication and intensified
organic synthesis (Leeds University), membrane filtration (Environmental
Technologies Group Ltd), and powder characterisation and processing
(AstraZeneca). 
Dr Salama also worked as a postdoctoral research assistant
at the School of Chemistry, Cardiff University. He has been involved in a
multidisciplinary project to develop a simple, cheap, and portable
formulation-based device to deliver inhalational anaesthesia. He successfully
developed a fully engineered prototype device to provide sustained and
controllable release of a volatile anaesthetic for inhalation.
Dr Salama, did his undergraduate and master degrees in
analytical chemistry in Cairo, Egypt. He worked as a researcher in metal
extraction and ore processing at the Nuclear Materials Authority before joining
the Hull university to pursue his PhD studies in the UK.
Dr Salama has a passion for designing and developing
interactive courses and new digital learning approaches and teaching
approaches. He is interested in the adaptive learning approach, which aims to
provide efficient, effective, and customised learning paths to engage each
student.
