Ibtissam Saad, PhD

Assistant Professor of Physical Chemistry

Dr. Ibtissam Saad earned her Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from Beirut Arab University in April 2019. She began her academic journey with a Bachelor of Science degree in Analytical Chemistry, completed with honors in 2006, and later achieved a Master's Degree in Analytical Chemistry in May 2010, also from Beirut Arab University.

Since 2008, Dr. Saad has served as the Head of the Chemistry Laboratory Unit at the Faculty of Sciences, Beirut Arab University. In this role, she supervises Physical Chemistry laboratories, managing both undergraduate and graduate research labs. She also provides guidance to assistants and graduate students in laboratory procedures, materials, and equipment operation.

Additionally, Dr. Saad has been a course instructor since 2014, developing and delivering a diverse range of chemistry courses for both graduate and undergraduate students. Currently, she is an Assistant Professor of Physical Chemistry at Beirut Arab University, where she continues to educate and inspire future chemists.

Her research primarily focuses on physical chemistry, with a particular emphasis on corrosion analysis and environmental analysis.
