Dr. Nour Fathi Shehata Attia is a Full Professor of the Gas Analysis and Fire Safety Laboratory at Egypt's National Institute of Standards (NIS), specializing in green nanomaterials for energy and environmental sustainability. His pioneering research develops bio-based nanoporous materials (MOFs, porous carbons) for hydrogen storage, CO₂ capture, and wastewater treatment; designs multifunctional flame-retardant/antibacterial nanocoatings for textiles and polymers; and engineers scalable graphene synthesis for smart materials. With a PhD from Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (South Korea), he holds 10 international patents (including US/Korean grants), has authored 110+ publications in top journals (Chemical Engineering Journal, Energy), and leads national projects funded by STDF/ASRT. Honored with Egypt’s First-Class Medal of Excellence from the President (2020) and ranked among the world’s Top 2% scientists (Stanford/Elsevier 2021–2024), his innovations bridge advanced materials science with industrial metrology and climate solutions.
