Dr. Ahmad Ghandour is a university professor of physics at the Lebanese University and the Lebanese International University, where he has been teaching since 2011. He lectures a wide range of undergraduate physics and engineering courses, including Classical Mechanics, Electricity and Magnetism, Fluids and Thermodynamics, Optics, and Biomedical Imaging. Over his academic career, he has demonstrated a strong commitment to innovative teaching, curriculum development, and student mentoring.
Dr. Ghandour earned his PhD in Physics from the School of Physics and Astronomy at Queen Mary University of London (2009). His doctoral research, titled “Carbon Nanotubes Under High Pressure: A Raman Study”, focused on understanding the behavior of nanomaterials under extreme conditions using Raman spectroscopy.
Following his PhD, he completed a postdoctoral research fellowship at Queen Mary University of London (2009–2011), where he contributed to the EPSRC-funded project “Tunable Raman Spectroscopy of Carbon Nanotubes Under High Pressure” (Grant No. EP/G070539/1). His research explored the pressure-dependent vibrational properties of carbon nanotubes and their environmental interactions, leading to multiple publications in Physical Review B, High Pressure Research, and the Journal of Raman Spectroscopy.
Dr. Ghandour’s research interests lie in the physical properties of nanomaterials, high-pressure physics, and spectroscopic techniques, particularly tunable Raman spectroscopy. His work bridges nanoscience, condensed matter physics, and materials characterization, with an emphasis on the experimental study of structure-property relationships in low-dimensional systems.
He has presented his findings at numerous international conferences, including the European High Pressure Research Group (EHPRG) meetings and the International Winter School on Electronic Properties of Novel Materials.
Beyond research, Dr. Ghandour is recognized for his excellence in teaching, his experience in blended and interactive online learning, and his dedication to fostering a collaborative and engaging academic environment for students from diverse backgrounds.
