Abdel Nasser Tawfik
Abdel Nasser Tawfik (Arabic: عبدالناصر توفيق) (* June 22nd 1967, in Bani Ammar-Tahta, Sohag, Egypt) has been graduated from Assiut University in 1989, where he also completed his Master Degree (M.Sc) in Theoretical Physics before his change to the University of Marburg (German: Philipps-Univertsität zu Marburg), Germany for the Dr.rer.Nat. (Ph.D.) in High Energy Physics.
In 2010, Tawfik has been awarded with D.Sc. in Physics and Mathematics from Uzbekistan National University.
Dr. Tawfik worked at numerous universities and research institutions including Fraunhofer Society, German Space Agency, University of Marburg, University of Trier, University of Stuttgart and University of Bielefeld. He also joined Hiroshima University in 2005-2006. Dr. Tawfik is the Founding Director of the ECTP Egyptian Center For Theoretical Physics[1] and Professor of Physics at the Modern University for Technology and Information (MTI)[2] in Cairo. Since 2009, Dr. Tawfik is an Associate Member of the Institute of Nuclear Phyics of the Uzbekistan Academy of Sciences (UZAS)[3].
Papers in Physics
A complete list of the published papers is to be found in Spires[4].
Recent outreach work
Dr. Tawfik has published various articles in newspapers and magazines on a wide range of public issues, and public lectures on science and its different impacts with the aim to improve the rate and quality of development in Egypt.
Dr. Tawfik introduced numerical simulations for lattice field theory to Egypt. For these techniques, one needs powerful computing facilities and effective numerical algorithms. Their results should greatly impact our understanding of matter under extreme conditions, including the phase transitions and the early universe. The evolution equations of various cosmological parameters in the background QCD matter in early universe are subjects of his recent papers.
