Biography
Dr. Morsi received his Ph.D. from University of Oxford in United Kingdom in 1996.
Dr. Morsi’s research area is Materials Science with a focus on processing and properties
of metals, intermetallics, ceramics and their composites. He has published numerous
journal articles in the areas of materials processing and powder metallurgy. His research
group’s current activities include synthesis of carbon nanotubes, nanotube reinforced
aluminum composites, the development of lightweight in-situ dual matrix composites,
reactive processing of Intermetallics, and processing-microstructure-properties
relations. He has taught on various topics including Nanomaterials, Powder Metallurgy,
Engineering Materials,
Advanced Materials Processing and Thermodynamics.
