Ayoup Ghrair is an assistant professor at Al-Balqa Applied University and a former scientific researcher at the Royal Scientific Society/Jordan. He holds a PhD degree in environment and nanomaterial from Hohenheim University/ Stuttgart-Germany. The title of his PhD thesis is Immobilization of Heavy Metals in Soil by Amendment of Nano-particulate Zeolitic Tuff. Dr. Ghrair finished B.Sc. and master degree in Earth and Environmental Science from Yarmouk University and Jordan University/Jordan, respectively. Ghrair is interested in technology applications, nano-materials, natural resources and environment, treatment of contaminated Site, modeling, monitoring of pollutions, and sorption-desorption of heavy metals on nanoparticles. Moreover, cooling PV panels using nano-fluids.
