    FOUNDATION OF THE MOA:

    During 2007-2008 Sultana Nahar provided partial research guidance for the Physics Ph.D. student Ramadan Semida of Beni-Suef University in Egypt and communicated with Ramadan's advisor Prof. Rayaz Shahin, professor of Physics and Dean of Faculty of Science. At Prof. Shahin's recommendation Sultana was invited as a keynote speaker at the internaitonal conference on "Modern Trend of Physics Research (MTPR)" organized by and held at Cairo University in 2008. It was at the end of MTPR-08 conference that the idea of OSU-Cairo University collaboration initiated.
    Collaboration took place with the Astronomy spectroscopy and Physics laser lab groups of OSU. At the suggestion of Prof. El Nadi, Sultana initiated the work on the Memorendum of Agreement (MOA) 2010. With the coordinated effort made by Prof. El Nadi at Cairo University and Sultana Nahar at OSU, the MOA was completed in 2012,
