Welcome to my website. I am Ahmed I. Abdelrahman. I was born in Cairo, Egypt. I had my undergraduate studies at Cairo University. Directly after graduation from the Chemistry department, in the summer of 1998, I worked as a quality control chemist for Coatech (Akzo Nobel Powder Coatings SAE). In 1999, I moved to Salem, Ohio to join American Standard and moved back to be the Analytical Equipment and Training Coordinator in their plant in Egypt (Ideal Standard) with responsibilities for polymer testing instruments like GC, GPC and Vicat. Later I was promoted to be the Laboratory Deputy Supervisor with special focus on crosslinked-polymer formulations and colorant perpetrations.

After spending one year as a lab supervisor in American University in Cairo AUC, I decided to move to Japan, in the fall of 2004, to join The Department of Electronic Chemistry at Tokyo Institute of Technology as a master student in the field of gold nanoparticles self assembly under the supervision of Professor Takeo Ohsaka.

In 2007, I joined Winnik group at the University of Toronto to fabricate lanthanide-containing polymer particles, employing different emulsion polymerization techniques, for biological tagging applications like non-specific endocytosis and cell adhesion. Currently, my research focuses on the synthesis of metal-encoded microspheres for mass cytometry-based immunoassays.
