Prof. Dr. Mohammed Taher Ismail
Associate Professor and expert in Applied Physics and Laser Technology, with over three decades of academic and research experience. He holds a Ph.D. in Applied Physics from the University of Hull in England, specializing in gas laser applications in microelectronics technology, a Master’s degree in Applied Physics from the same university, and a Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics from the University of Damascus.
Academically, he has served as a full-time Associate Professor in the Engineering and Medical Sciences faculties at the Arab International University since 2018, where he established advanced physics laboratories for training engineering and medical science students. Prior to that, he held the position of Associate Professor at Yarmouk Private University and worked at the Higher Institute for Laser Research and Applications at the University of Damascus, where he supervised Master’s theses and participated in evaluation committees for postgraduate research projects.
His professional experience spanned from 1991 to 2010 as a principal researcher at the Scientific Research Center, where he conducted advanced research in laser technology and applications and published numerous scientific reports on laser systems and their applications in engineering, medical, and environmental fields.
He also contributed to the development of educational curricula, including drafting the internal regulations for the Higher Institute for Laser Research and approving Master’s programs. Additionally, he participated in European-funded projects to develop the certification for Physical Engineering.
He has an extensive record of peer-reviewed publications and scientific research, including eleven articles published during his doctoral studies, and a chapter titled "Laser Ablation Dynamics of Superconductor: Photo-acoustic and Spectroscopic Studies" in the book Laser Ablation of Electronic Materials. He also authored two English-language books for engineering students titled Experiments on Physics 1 and Experiments on Physics 2.
He participated in several advanced international training courses in Russia, Slovenia, and St. Petersburg on the design and operation of gas and solid-state laser systems and their environmental and medical applications.
The courses he teaches include General Physics for Engineers and Medical Sciences, Engineering Mathematics, and specialized courses in Communication Engineering such as Electromagnetic Waves, Wave Propagation, Electrical Circuits, and Introduction to Electronics.
