She graduated with honors in 1939 in radiology after investigating the effects of X-rays on various materials. With the help of the college's dean, Dr. Moustafa Mousharafa, she was hired as a professor, becoming the first woman to earn a university teaching position and a Ph.D. in atomic radiation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

X-ray technology was attributed to the German physicist Wilhelm R\u00f6ntgen, who studied this particular type of electromagnetic radiation. Doctors quickly adopted it to identify broken limbs and other ailments; however, the technology was still immature and incurred numerous costs. For this reason, Moussa, who was convinced of the benefits of nuclear energy: \"My wish is that nuclear treatment against cancer is as affordable and cheap as aspirin\", carried out an intense investigation, formulating a historical equation that would help to break atoms of metals, such as copper, in an inexpensive way. She thus achieved a medical use of nuclear technology that was affordable for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She helped organize the Atomic Energy for Peace Conference in London and promoted a call to establish an international conference under the theme \u201cAtoms for Peace\u201d to be held in the United States with President Dwight Eisenhower at the helm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After his first visit to the United States, he intended to return home; however, he was invited on another trip. On the way, the car he was traveling in fell from a height of about 12 meters, and he died instantly. He was 35 years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
