Biography
Prof. Mostafa is a professor of inorganic chemistry at Chemistry Department, Mansoura University, Egypt, since 2008 and a visiting professor at Chemistry Department, McGill University, Canada, since 2009. She got her M.S. degree in inorganic chemistry at Mansoura University (1989), Chemistry Doctor's degree (Ph.D.) at Imperial College of London (1993), and many postdoctoral fellowships at Imperial College of London, IKY fellow in Ioannina University, Greece, and JICA fellow in Catalysis Research Center, Hokkaido University, Japan. She developed several aspects of O,O; N,O; N,S, and N,O,S low cytotoxic-organic transition metal complexes. Her current research interest is in the synthesis, characterization, reactivity, and applications of O,O; N,O; N,S, and N,O,S low or noncytotoxic organic transition metal complexes in particular for biology, particularly, anticancer, for catalytic oxidation of organic substrates using transition metal complexes at higher oxidation states and catalytic epoxidation of olefins using transition metal complexes immobilized on modified solid supports (MSS) such as zeolite, silica, cellulose, and chitosan in heterogeneous catalytic systems. She has written several chapters in books including MSS transition metal complexes. She has given about 22 invited lectures worldwide. She is the principal author of about 50 publications and coauthor of 20 publications. She is a member in the editorial boards and reviewer of many journals on inorganic, bioinorganic and catalytic chemistry. She is the principal advisor of 14 earned M.S. and Ph.D. theses and another 16 theses under study. Her academic efforts have been recognized nationally by Mansoura University Award (2013), Al-Azhar University Award (2007, 2009, and 2011), Who's is Who's in the world (2008), and Lecturer Award from Mansoura University for Excellence in Graduate Teaching (1992).
