Muhammad Ibrahim's education instilled the belief that all people should share in the knowledge of science and technology. After publishing the first science magazine in the country, he decided to establish Centre for Mass Education in Science (CMES) as the next step in achieving effective mass science education. Muhammad viewed this as the best method of unleashing the power of the adolescent mind and providing equity for girls, especially in areas related to technology. His dream is to expand the principle of linking "education-work-empowerment" and bring global technology and business to the grassroots level. Muhammad holds a PhD in Physics from Southampton University, UK. His research interests include semiconductor physics, renewable energy, environment, and youth development.
