Ibtissam Saad, PhD

Assistant Professor of Physical Chemistry

Dr. Ibtissam Saad is an Assistant Professor of Physical Chemistry at Beirut Arab University, where she has been teaching and mentoring students since 2023. She earned her Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry in 2019, following a Master’s (2010) and a Bachelor’s degree with honors (2006) in Analytical Chemistry, all from Beirut Arab University.

Since 2008, Dr. Saad has led the Chemistry Laboratory Unit at the Faculty of Science, managing teaching laboratories, coordinating research activities, and training students and staff in laboratory procedures and equipment use.

She is also spearheading the development of an ISO/IEC 17025–compliant quality management system for the university’s Environmental Analysis and Consultancy Unit, ensuring high standards of reliability, traceability, and technical competence in testing services.

Her research focuses on corrosion science, electrochemistry, and environmental analysis.
