MOU between Malaysian and Egyptian Universities for Nano R&D
16 April 2009The two top universities of Malaysia and Egypt came together and signed a MOU (memorandum of understanding) to jointly work in the areas of research and development in nanotechnology. University of Alexandria and Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) will jointly work on a number of projects in the fast growing areas of nanotechnology.
Professor Kamarulazizi Ibrahim, coordinator of the USM Nano Optoelectronics Technology and research Laboratory has vide experience in the area of nanotechnology and the current MOU will enhance the capabilities of USM in designing and developing new devices including BLE (Blue light emitting) and LD (laser diodes). These new technologies will significantly reduce the cost of electronic equipments, semiconductors and at the same time will be environmental friendly.
USM (Universiti Sains Malaysia) has also signed an MOU with Al-Azhar University in science and technology area. The two MOUs will enhance the research abilities of USM. Vice chancellor of USM Professor Tan Sri Datuk Dzulkiffi Abdul Razak is hopeful about positive outcome of these programs as both the universities have interest in the respective field and are also working with many other universities.
