　Professor Mostafa A. El-Sayed was born in Egypt where he received his BSc. Hereceived his Ph.D. at the Florida State University with Professor Michael Kasha. After doing postdoctoral work at Yale, Harvard and Caltech, he joined the faculty at UCLA. In 1994, he became the Julius Brown Chair, Regent Professor and Director of the Laser Dynamics Lab at the Georgia Institute of Technology. 

　El-Sayed and his group (over 85 Ph.D. students and 40 Postdoctoral Fellows)has contributed to many areas of physical chemistry and nano-Science and nano-technological research. They have been involved in the development of new techniques such as magneto-photo selection, pico-second Raman spectroscopy and phosphorescence microwave double resonance spectroscopy. Using spectroscopic techniques, they have been able to answer fundamental questions regarding ultrafast dynamical processes involving molecules, solids, nano-structural material and photo-biological systems. Since he moved to Georgia Tech, El-Sayed and his group became active in the study of the physical, chemical and photo-thermal processes of metallic and semiconductor nanostructures of different shapes. The shape dependent applications of the metallic nanoparticles in nano-catalysis as well as nanomedicine have also been demonstrated. Prof. El-Sayed has published over 550 peer-reviewed papers, given over 50 special named lectures and over 200 invited and plenary talks at National and International meetings. He has served on numerous international and national committees such as the Advisory Boards of NSF and Basic Energy Sciences of DOE and the National Research Council Board of Chemical Sciences. Prof. El-Sayed has served as the Editor-in-chief of the Journal of Physical Chemistry (1980-2004) and as the U.S. Editor of the International Reviews in Physical Chemistry. 

　Prof. El-Sayed is an elected member of the U.S. National Academy of Science, an associate member of the Third World Academy of Sciences, and an elected Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the AAAS, and the American Physical Society. He has received the 1990 King Faisal International Prize in Science and an Honorary Doctor of Philosophy degree from the Hebrew University, the colleges of Medicine of Mansoura and Alexandria Universities in Egypt. He has received a number of national awards such as the Fresenius, the Tolman, the Richard's medal, as well as other numerous local ACS section awards. In 2002, he received the ACS-APS Langmuir National Award in Chemical Physics and in 2007 was awarded Georgia Tech's highest award, "The Class of 1943 Distinguished Professor" for his long-term contributions to research, teaching and service. Most recently, Professor El-Sayed was Awarded the 2007 USA National Medal of Science in chemistry by the President of the United states “...for his seminal and creative contributions to our understanding of the electronic and optical properties of nano-materials and to their applications in nano-catalysis and nano-medicine, for his humanitarian efforts of exchange among countries and for his role in developing the scientific leadership of tomorrow”. He also received the 2009 Ahmed Zewail Prize in Molecular Sciences "...for his seminal contributions to the understanding of the electronic and molecular dynamics and properties of systems with different length scales, ranging from molecules to nanoparticles to biomedical systems" at the 2009 Spring ACS Meeting in Salt Lake City, UT. Prof. El-Sayed is an inaugural fellow of the American Chemical Society, an elected member of the Egyptian Academy of Science and Technology, an honorary fellow of the Indian Chemical Society. He was also awarded the Seaborg Medal and the Medal of the Egyptian Republic of the First Class by the President of Egypt.
