Hassan kamel sabbah biography

 

Hassan Kamel Al-Sabbah was a technological leader whose inventions in electricity had a great impact on the development of 20th century technology. In August 1921, Sabbah travelled to the U.S. to study at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for one year. In 1922, he enrolled at the University of Illinois, where he earned a master’s degree in engineering sciences in 1923.

He was hired by the engineering laboratory of the General Electric Company (GE) at Schenectady, N.Y. in 1923. It was not long before his research efforts resulted in a number of patents. However, Sabah had signed a contract with GE whereby all his inventions became the property of the company, and so he received a reward of one dollar for each of his patented inventions. Between 1927 and 1935, he invented 52 different applications.

As far as great inventors go, Hassan Kamal Al-Sabbah is one of the most under-appreciated. That his origin is Lebanon may, sadly, account for some of the reasons why this is the case.

He was a Lebanese electrical and electronics research engineer, mathematician and inventor and was born in Nabatieh, Lebanon in 1895 where he studied at the American University of Beirut. He taught mathematics at Imperial College of Damascus, Syria, and at the American University of Beirut.

He conducted large amounts of research at MIT and the University of Illinois in the US. He was an incredibly influential figure in his research and has over 70 US and International patents for his work. Despite all that he achieved, many people haven’t heard all that much about him. So, with that said, here are a few areas that you might not have known that he influenced.
