Ahmed El-Shafei, a Professor in the Polymer and Color Chemistry Program at North Carolina State University, joined the faculty in 2008 after 5-year of conducting research as a Research Assistant Professor at NC State in different chemistry areas with a focus towards functional dyes including dye-sensitized solar cells, photodynamic therapy, and molecular modeling of photostability, photophysics, thermal and photodegradation mechanisms of dyes and polymers. He received a B.S. (1989) with honors and a M.Sc. (1994) in Organic Chemistry both from Mansoura University, Egypt, and a Co-Major Ph.D. (2002) in Chemistry and Fiber and Polymer Science from North Carolina State University. El-Shafei’s current research interests span molecular engineering, molecular modeling (DFT/TD-DFT), synthesis, photophysics, electrochemistry and photovoltaic properties of dyes for dyes-sensitized solar cells and PDT. The second research area of interest in El-Shafei’s group focuses on sustainable dyeing and finishing, the synthesis and nanolayer graft polymerization of different monomer functionalities using atmospheric plasma (waterless) for different end uses including woven, non-wovens and knitted fabrics for fuel filtration, medical applications and flame retardancy. Another research thrust of El-Shafei is on molecular modeling of weathering of dyes and polymers, synthesis and characterization of thermochromic and photochromic dyes, and dyes for ink-jet printing.

2015 journal article

Selective synthesis, structural studies and antitumor evaluation of some novel unsymmetrical 1-hetary1-4-(2-chloroquinolin-3-yl)azines

JOURNAL OF SAUDI CHEMICAL SOCIETY, 20(6), 695–702.

By: S. Bondock*, H. Gieman* & A. El-Shafei n

Contributors: S. Bondock*, H. Gieman* & A. El-Shafei n

author keywords: Azine; Quinoline; DFT and TD-DFT calculations; Energy functional B3LYP; Molecular modeling; Antitumor activity
TL;DR: Comparison of the biological results to the calculated electronic and thermodynamic properties showed that the cytotoxicity is dependent on the low-lying E LUMO because compound 8 has the lowest E LumO value and exhibited the greatest antitumor activity. (via Semantic Scholar)

A comparative study of Ru(II) cyclometallated complexes versus thiocyanated heteroleptic complexes: thermodynamic force for efficient dye regeneration in dye-sensitized solar cells and how low could it be?

PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY CHEMICAL PHYSICS, 16(28), 14874–14881.

Contributors: M. Hussain n, A. Islam*, I. Bedja*, R. Gupta*, L. Han* & A. El-Shafei n

TL;DR: This study clearly elucidated that although cyclometallation may produce significantly better light harvesting, the driving force of less than 0.25 eV is not sufficiently enough for effective dye regeneration, which contributed significantly to the loss of both photocurrent and photovoltage.
