Lab equipment

The Yousef Jameel Science and Technology Research Center draws on the expertise of the university’s engineering and science departments. Its mission is to establish an internationally competitive research activity at AUC resourced and supported to the highest standards.

About The Center

The YJ-STRC was established in 2003 through a generous donation from Yousef Jameel '68. At that time there were no research facilities in Egypt capable of developing micro/nano devices. Jameel had the vision to create a center of excellence in the field of nanotechnology at AUC. To achieve this goal with the limited resources available, the faculty of the School of Sciences and Engineering formulated an initiative to realize that objective.
