BIOGRAPHY

-Dr. Mohamed Zaki Khedr is a Professor of Petrology and Geochemistry (especially geochemistry of economic minerals in igneous and metamorphic rocks) at Geology Department, Faculty of Science, Kafrelsheikh University, Egypt since July 2020. 

-Dr. Khedr got his undergraduate degree (B.Sc of Geology) from Tanta University, Egypt in 1997 and his Master degree (Mineralogy and Petrology) from Tanta University in 2004. Dr. Khedr received his Ph.D. degree (Mineralogy and Geochemistry) from Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology, Kanazawa University, Japan in 2010. 

-From 1999 to the current time, Dr. Khedr was a Faculty Member at Geology Department, Faculty of Science, Kafrelsheikh University, Egypt. He was appointed in September 1999 as a Demonstrator (1999 - 2004) of Geology and nominated to Assistant lecturer of Geology (June 2004 - May 2010), Assistant Professor of Geochemistry (May 2010-June 2015), Associate Professor of Geochemistry and Petrology (June 2015- July 2020) and finally Full Professor of Geochemistry and Petrology (July 2020-Now). 

-From 2011 to 2013, he was a Postdoctoral Researcher at Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology, Kanazawa University, Japan. From 2013 to 2014, he got a Postdoctoral Fellow (JSPS: Japan Society for the Promotion of Science) at Kanazawa University, Japan. Dr. Khedr was a visiting Professor at Kanazawa University, Japan in June-July2016 and July2018. He received a postdoctoral Scholarship at Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology, Niigata University, Japan in 2019-2020 and got JSPS Bridge Scholarship at Kanazawa University, Japan in August 2022. He was a visiting Professor at King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals, Saudi Arabia in February 2023. 

-Dr. Khedr has been teaching several courses to undergraduate, Master and PhD students such as Geochemistry, Petrology, Mineralogy, Geoctectonics, Precambrian Geology, Crystallography, and Field Geology. 

-Dr. Khedr's research interests include petrology and geochemistry of mafic and ultramafic  rocks and their mineralizations (Ni-Cu-Mo-Co-PGM, magnetites, chromitite, Fe-Ti-V ores, chromitites and sulphide deposits); geochemical exploration of rare metals and lithium in younger granites and pegmatites, heavy minerals in Wadi deposits and black sands; geochemical exploration of copper, cobalt and Nickel in metavolcanics; carbonization of mantle and its relation with gold deposits (Listvenite formation); fluid-flow effects and compositions during serpentinization and magnetization of peridotites to Moho Transition Zone; geodynamic evolution and mantle processes of the Arabian Nubian Sheild based on stable isotope and isotopic compositions. 

-Dr. Khedr participated in international projects for geological explorations, scientific expeditions and field works in Egypt, Japan, Sultanate Oman, Iran, and Saudi Arabia. 

-Dr. Khedr's publications (41 papers) have appeared in different peer reviewed Q1 and Q2 journals and he is a Guest Editor of Minerals. 

-Dr. Khedr supervised on six Master students and is a reviewer in 13 international Journals.
