Hussain Ali Shendy

Hussain Ali holds a master’s degree in science (Geology) from Beni-Suef University, Egypt, where he specialized in the utilization of naturally occurring raw materials and mining wastes for the production of affordable, high-performance glass-ceramics.

His academic and research journey includes active participation in several projects focused on transforming industrial and natural wastes into valuable materials. Through close collaboration with the Glass Department at the National Research Centre, Egypt, and Beni-Suef University, he has developed strong expertise and technical skills in the production and characterization of glass, glass-ceramics, and refractories.

In his PhD dissertation, he is working on the development of a novel glass melting technology using advanced laser techniques, conducted in collaboration between the FunGlass Centre (Slovakia) and the University of Vigo (Spain).
