Study of the Key Optical Properties of the Minerals Constituting Marble in Egypt
A scientific study analyzing the optical characteristics of Egyptian marble. The research adopts a systematic approach to the preservation and maintenance of marble monuments by examining the optical properties of the minerals that constitute marble. This analysis enables researchers and conservators to better understand the internal and external factors affecting marble and the various forms of deterioration associated with them. (in Arabic).

Treatment and Conservation Study of Mural Paintings Applied to an Educational Model
A technical study on the conservation of Egyptian mural painting. It examines the factors influencing ancient Egyptian art, the anatomical structure of mural paintings, and the primary techniques and pigments used in their creation. The research also reviews key methods for transferring and re-fixing murals (staco amasello, stac, and strapo). A practical model of a mural painting on limestone, executed in gum arabic tempera, was produced as an applied component for the postgraduate course “Techniques, Treatment, and Conservation of Mural Paintings” at the Restoration Department, Faculty of Archaeology, Cairo University.

Treatment and Conservation Study of Gypsum Artifacts Applied to an Educational Model
A study on the treatment and conservation of gypsum artifacts applied to an educational model. It outlines the construction technique of stained-glass plaster windows and identifies key factors and manifestations of deterioration in interior and exterior plasterwork. A practical model was produced as part of the postgraduate course “Techniques, Treatment, and Conservation of Plasterwork” at the Restoration Department, Faculty of Archaeology, Cairo University, enabling students to observe damage, apply appropriate treatment methods, and receive hands-on training.

Applied Experimental Study on the Treatment and Conservation of Glass Artifacts Using an Educational Model
A study on the deterioration, treatment, and conservation of glass artworks. It identifies key factors and manifestations of damage to glass artifacts and examines an experimental glass model used in the postgraduate course “Techniques, Treatment, and Maintenance of Pottery and Glass” at the Restoration Department, Faculty of Archaeology, Cairo University. The model demonstrated issues caused by improper, non-scientific restoration, including incorrect assembly, excessive adhesive use, and loss of parts. Treatment involved scientific evaluation, mechanical and chemical cleaning, reassembly with epoxy resin, and completion using clear epoxy to restore structural and visual integrity.

Applied Experimental Study on the Treatment and Conservation of Pottery Artifacts Using an Educational Model
A study conducted on a pottery vessel model to examine damage caused by unscientific restoration practices. The model was evaluated to identify previous restoration materials and errors, including improper assembly, excessive adhesive use, and missing parts. After assessment, the piece was dismantled, mechanically and chemically cleaned, then reassembled and adhered with polyvinyl acetate. Losses were filled using a mixture of Paris gypsum and water with red oxide to achieve structural and visual completion.
