Dr. Kamil Rahme received his doctorate in 2008 from the University of Toulouse, France, afterward he joined the material and super critical fluid group directed by Dr. Justin D Holmes at the Department of Chemistry in University College Cork (UCC), Ireland, as Post Doctoral Research Associate (PDRA) for nearly 2 years. He has several published papers in multidisciplinary science International journals. He joined as Assistant Professor of Chemistry at Notre Dame University in October 2010, and he is currently teaching chemistry courses. His research interests are in nanoscience and bionanotechnology fields of applied sciences. Dr. Rahme has a strong research background at the interface chemistry, physical chemistry and biology.
