Career Trajectory
Bio
Maher El-Kady is a distinguished researcher and innovator, currently serving as a professional researcher at the UCLA Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry. He is also recognized as the Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer at Nanotech Energy, Inc. With a remarkable career spanning across various disciplines, El-Kady has made significant contributions to the fields of energy, electronics, and sustainability through his expertise in materials design and implementation. At the heart of El-Kady's work lies an interdisciplinary approach, encompassing chemistry, materials science, engineering, molecular and cell biology, and their convergence in creating advanced materials and devices. His pioneering efforts have led to groundbreaking advancements in multiple domains, including batteries, implantable medical devices, nanogenerators for wearable and skin electronics, chemical sensors and biosensors, solar cells, artificial photosynthesis, water remediation, and environmental monitoring. El-Kady's doctoral research, conducted under the guidance of Prof. Richard Kaner, a renowned authority in materials science at UCLA, yielded significant breakthroughs in graphene chemistry and supercapacitors.
His seminal contributions to the field laid the foundation for the establishment of Nanotech Energy, Inc., a company dedicated to transforming the battery industry. As the company's chief science and technology officer, El-Kady spearheads a team of talented scientists and engineers in realizing the commercial potential of his innovations. El-Kady has co-authored nearly 200 patents and patent applications and about 70 papers in prestigious journals, attracting 17,000+ citations. His professional experiences resulted in numerous awards including Iconic Express Magazine top 10 Influential Leaders of 2023, C-Level Focus 10 Best CTO's of 2022, C&EN Talented 12 from the American Chemical Society, the UCLA Herbert Newby McCoy Award, Amgen Postdoctoral Award, Lindau Graduate Student Award, the Cairo University Presidential Award for Excellence in Research in addition to a research award from the Government of Egypt. Additionally, his research accomplishments have been showcased in various media outlets, including a documentary produced for the Sundance Film Festival on ideas that could change the world. He also appeared in the popular NOVA science show and on BBC Four screen in a series of episodes that tell the stories behind some of the most significant inventions that helped shape the world we live in today. Furthermore, El-Kady had the privilege of featuring in a movie alongside Nobel laureate Harry Kroto, whose groundbreaking discovery of fullerenes over three decades ago ignited a global surge of nanotechnology research. Throughout his career, El-Kady developed a long-standing passion for creating "smart" materials that will transform our lives.
