Professor Yousef Salamin

Professor

Prior to joining AUS in September 2003, Yousef Salamin taught theoretical undergraduate and graduate physics at Birzeit University in Palestine and Freiburg University in Germany. His research work gets over 100 annual citations. He has been awarded an Abdel Hameed Shoman Prize for Young Arab Scientists, an Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship, a DAAD (German Academic Exchange Program) Guest Lecturer Fellowship, and a Distinguished Scholar Award from the Arab Fund for Economic and Social Development. His current research interests focus on laser-acceleration of particles for medical and industrial applications.
