Nasr A. M. Hafz (Hafiz) is an experimental physicist who received his B.Sc. in Physics from Ain Shams University in Cairo, EGYPT in 1991. From 1993 to 1998. He was a Junior faculty member in Plasma Physics by Egypt’s Atomic Energy Authority. He moved to Tokyo, JAPAN in 1998 and was awarded a Ph.D. of Engineering “Quantum Engineering and Systems Science” from the University of Tokyo in 2001. From 2011 to 2018 he was a tenure-track Associate Professor at the Department of Physics and Astronomy of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China.

Since Sept. 2018 he is a Leading Scientist and the Particle Acceleration Group Leader at ELI-ALPS, HUNGARY, EU. His group’s main task at ELI-ALPS within the new few years is to establish two high-repetition-rate (10 Hz and 1 kHz) laser accelerator beamlines based on ELI unique laser systems for applications in science and technology.

Nasr’s research is focusing on electron acceleration using TW/PW lasers and plasmas and the generation of secondary radiations and particles. He has supervised/co-supervised 12 Ph.D. students over the past few years. He has authored and co-authored 73 peer-reviewed articles some of which appeared in “Nature Photonics, PNAS, Science Advances, Scientific Reports." He also has more than 80 invited and oral talks, lectures, and conference proceedings. Nasr’s H-index is 20 with more than 1500 citations.
