Dr. Ahmed Aidan
Senior Laboratory Instructor
PhD, Burgas University, Bulgaria
Dr. Aidan joined AUS since 1999 to present. He was involved in establishing all Chemical Engineering labs including unit operation, fluid flow, heat transfer, corrosion and materials science, water treatment, and process control labs. He has long experience in obtaining laboratory equipment through his collaboration with other institutions. He accomplished installation and commissioning of all equipment in these labs. In addition, he prepared, helped and developed all lab experiments’ handouts and operating manuals. During his career at AUS, he has taught several courses, namely; Introduction to Engineering, Chemical Engineering Laboratory I, Material Science Laboratory, Corrosion Lab, Unit Operation Lab1, control Lab and Water Lab.
