Loujein Wassouf | Electrical Engineering | Best Researcher Award Published on 07/10/202507/10/2025 by Engineering Scientist Ms. Loujein Wassouf | Electrical Engineering | Best Researcher Award Ph.D student | National Research University | Syria Ms. Loujein Wassouf is a dedicated Ph.D. student at the National Research University “MPEI” in Russia, with a strong academic foundation in Physics and Materials Science. She earned her Bachelor’s degree in Physics from Syria with a very good grade and later completed her Master’s degree in Materials Science at the National University of Science and Technology “MISIS,” graduating with excellent distinction. Her research expertise lies in the development and characterization of biopolymer-based composite and hybrid materials, focusing on enhancing their structural and mechanical performance. During her Master’s studies, she investigated the “Structure and Physical-Mechanical Properties of Hair-Based Biopolymer Composite and Hybrid Materials Using Nanostructured Melanin as a Marker for Photoacoustic Imaging.” Currently, her doctoral research focuses on “Technology for Increasing the Mechanical Strength of Polymer Composites through Nanostructuring,” exploring advanced methods to improve material durability and performance. Her published work, including a Scopus-indexed article in Polymers (2023), demonstrates her contribution to sustainable materials engineering through the innovative use of natural biopolymers. Ms. Wassouf’s research aligns with global efforts to promote eco-friendly material technologies, providing promising alternatives to conventional synthetic polymers while supporting sustainable development goals in materials science and engineering.
