He obtained his B.Sc. in 2002 of Agriculture Sciences, Plant Pathology at Faculty of Agriculture, Assiut University, Egypt. In 2007, he obtained his M.Sc. in Integrated Pest Management of Mediterranean Fruit Tree Crops at CIHEAM-MAIB, Italy. In 2011, he got his PhD in Plant Protection Curriculum: Integrated Crop Protection from Bari University Aldo Moro, Italy. Also, he had a Postdoc position and visiting professor at Department of Agronomy, Londrina State University in Brazil. He published many research articles in peer reviewed in highly impactful scientific journals in the field of phytopathology and postharvest pathology. He has membership and contributes to several professional societies and editorial board member for several international journals. He is a member of the Agricultural and Food Research Council, Academy of Scientific Research and Technology, Egypt. Ayat F. Hashim, Ph.D. is currently working as a Researcher at Food Industries and Nutrition Research Institute, National Research Centre. She has been working on Nano lipid Carriers and Polymer Nanocomposites as Effective Nutraceuticals Delivery Vehicles. She has published 38 articles and 12 book chapters in Elsevier and Springer Nature. Also, she has one Book entitled: Biopolymeric Nanoparticles for Agricultural Applications that has published in Springer’s “Nanotechnology in the Life Sciences”. She traveled to Londrina the State University of Londrina, Brazil, Department of Food Science & Technology where she engaged in a short training project in 2019 relevant to the preparation of edible coating film using natural biopolymers. Two years before that, she also traveled to the University of Wroclaw, Poland for another short-term training program in the field of nanoencapsulation of nutraceutical oils for functional food applications. She is a principal investigator for the project funded by the National Research Centre (NRC), Egypt (2023) entitled “Novel SMART Nanofibers as Visual Color Sensors for Edible Oil Deterioration”. Also, she was the principal investigator for project number F/5853 funded by the International Foundation for Science (IFS), Sweden (2016). She is interested in the synthesis of nanomaterials, especially functional nanoemulsion, encapsulation, characterization, green synthesis, characterization, and application in pharmaceuticals, food, and agriculture.
