Yemenis have always excelled wherever they have landed, and today the Yemeni inventor and professor Marwan Dhamrin has been granted a new patent related to the development of SiGe and SiSn layer formation technology on silicon chips (solar cells) at a low cost using high-throughput technology. Marwan Dhamrin was born in Taiz in 1975, where he completed his primary education. He then moved to Sana’a, where he completed his secondary and high school education and subsequently studied physics at the Faculty of Science, earning his bachelor's degree in physics in 1998. He was appointed an assistant professor at the university for a year before being sent to Japan on a scholarship from the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology to pursue his master's and doctoral degrees.
He obtained his master's degree in semiconductor engineering from the Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology, followed by his doctorate in the same field. He was appointed a lecturer at the same university immediately after graduating, and later he became a fellow of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS), the most prestigious fellowship program by the Japanese government. Following this, he worked as a knowledge exchange coordinator between companies and the university before taking up a position as an assistant professor at the same university until the end of 2011. In 2012, he was offered the opportunity to lead the solar energy research unit at the Toyo Aluminium K.K., which he accepted, transitioning to the industry and progressing within the company to eventually head the company's research center. It is worth mentioning that Professor Marwan Dhamrin has obtained multiple registered patents in the United States, Europe, Korea, and China.
