Dr. Ahmed is presently an Associate professor at Chemical Engineering Department, King Saud University, Saudi Arabia. He got his bachelor, master and doctoral degrees in Chemical Engineering from King Saud University. He earned his MS and PhD degrees in Methane reforming with carbon dioxide (dry reforming of methane). Dr. Ahmed has three USA registered patents and over 50 publications in International peer reviewed journals and conferences. He has very strong theoretical as well as experimental capabilities and he also gained first hand research experience on several state of the art catalyst characterization techniques like, surface area and porosity, X-ray diffraction, temperature programmed techniques, thermo-gravimetric analysis etc. He has been involved in a number of research projects which have special focus on catalyst development, syngas/hydrogen production as well as direct and indirect utilization of “Greenhouse gases” (CH4 & CO2) through reforming processes such as dry reforming, oxy reforming and catalytic decomposition of methane. Currently, his research interests include: heterogeneous catalysis, nano-material synthesis, chemical reaction engineering, petrochemical industries, dry reforming of methane and ethylene production and production of acetic acid.
