Dr. Allam is currently working at the Research Laboratory of Electronics (rLe) at MIT on quantum dot solar cells as well as solar-driven hydrogen production. Dr. Allam was a Research Scientist at Georgia Institute of Technology with Prof. Mostafa A. El-Sayed where he worked on the fabrication and assembly of hybrid semiconductor nanomaterials for solar energy conversion applications. Dr Allam has over 25 publications in peer-reviewed journals such as JACS and ACS Nano. He is the recipient of the Ford Foundation International Fellowship (2005-2008) and RAK-CAM Postdoctoral Fellowship (2010).  His biography is cited in Madison “Who's Who in the World”, Marquis “Who's Who in the world” and Cambridge Who’s Who. In 2009, Dr Allam was nominated by the International Biographical Center, Cambridge, England as one of the top 100 scientists in the field. He has been elected to the editorial board of the Journal of Experimental Sciences, International Journal of Recent Scientific Research and the Journal of Recent Patents in Corrosion Science.

Dr. Allam’s current research interests include: Growth and Assembly of Highly Ordered Nanomaterials, Chemistry and Photoelectrochemistry of Nanoscale Inorganic Materials, Conversion of Solar Energy into Chemical Fuels, Dye Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSCs), Quantum Dots Solar Cells (QDSC), Photocatalysis and Oxide-Based Electrocatalysis for Energy Conversion (Liquid-Based Fuel Cells).
