Ammar Al-Shameri

I am a biotechnologist driven by the idea of creating sustainable solutions through biocatalysis. My research focuses on gas-converting enzymes like hydrogenases, which enable green hydrogen production and utilization. I integrate these enzymes into cascades to transform biogenic materials into energy carriers and fine chemicals, and I develop enzymatic flow systems for continuous bioprocessing. Recently, I started to explore sol-gel encapsulation techniques to create hybrid smart materials with potential in drug delivery. 

Being a member of AGYA opens doors to vibrant interdisciplinary exchange, especially within the Arab-German research network. 

It’s a unique space where science meets society, and where collaborations across cultures and disciplines help tackle global challenges in energy and health.
