Prof. Mazen Khaled

Biography: Professor Mazen Khaled is currently Full Professor at the Department of
Chemistry and Earth Sciences – Qatar University. He obtained his BSc in Chemistry
(1987) from the American University of Beirut, Lebanon, his Ph.D. in Physical
Chemistry from the University of Alabama in 1992.  He did his first post doctorate year
1992-1993 at Denver University studying fullerenes using Electrochemical and EPR
techniques, and his second post doctorate year at North Carolina State University 1993-
1994 developing very fast voltammetry. In 1994 he joined King Fahd University of
