Mohamed Al-Hada obtained his PhD in Physics at TU Berlin using the third generation synchrotron facility in Berlin - Electron Storage Ring BESSY II (Helmholtz Center Berlin for materials and energy). He moved to Amran University, Yemen, where he worked as an Assistant Professor until 2015. Between 2007 and 2015, he joined the work group of Professor Wolfgang Eberhardt at TU Berlin as a researcher on many scientific projects related to nanocluster physics. From 2015 to 2018, he moved to Italy to work at the ELETTRA Synchrotron Facility as a scientist, working on the ESCAmicroscopy beamline. Since December 2019, He has led the X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) facility in one of the Sir Henry Royce Institute Laboratories in Cambridge. The facility contains state-of-the-art instruments with the capability to analyze chemical compositions and electronic structures of a wide range of functional materials under inert or high vacuum conditions, as well as under real environmental operating conditions. He is collaborating with many scientific groups in Cambridge and UK’s research scientific institutes on Materials Science and Surface Science by XPS measurements at the XPS lab and in light source facilities.
