Dr Mohamed AbdulHameed

Mohamed AbdulHameed received his B.S. in Nuclear and Radiation Engineering from Alexandria University in 2020. Before graduate school, he studied solid state physics at the International Centre for Theoretical Physics, completed military service as a data analyst in the Egyptian Air Defense Forces, and then worked as a physics teaching assistant at the University of Science and Technology at Zewail City.

He then joined North Carolina State University, where he completed his Master of Nuclear Engineering (2025) and Ph.D. in Nuclear Engineering (2026), specializing in computational materials science. His doctoral research focused on multiscale modeling of nuclear materials, combining density functional theory, molecular dynamics, and phase-field methods with sensitivity analysis and Bayesian uncertainty quantification. His work addressed diffusional creep, dislocation-mediated plasticity, microstructure evolution, paramagnetic state modeling, oxygen-bubble interactions, and interatomic potential development. During this period, he also completed an internship at Los Alamos National Laboratory, working on irradiation-induced swelling in nuclear fuels.

He has published in journals including Journal of Nuclear Materials, Computational Materials Science, and Physical Review Materials. He is currently a postdoctoral researcher at the University of New South Wales, where he studies radiation damage in fusion materials.
