INTRODUCTION

The Faculty of Engineering at BUE is aiming at engaging, in collaborative research and

consultation projects, with the industry in order to extend its services to support the

engineering industry in addition to the community at large. This directory is developed to

outline the current consultation and research expertise in the six engineering departments in

addition to the basic sciences service department.

The collective expertise presented in this directory is capable of solving regular engineering

problems in addition to providing innovative solutions using state-of-the-art technologies in

addressing complex engineering challenges.

Multi-disciplinary experienced teams are trained to work seemingly together in order to solve

cross boundary engineering problems.

Background:

I am working in the field of teaching and research since my graduation in 1992. I started as a

teaching assistant at Shoubra faculty of engineering where I promoted my master degree in

1997.

Three years later I awarded a governmental scholarship to prepare my Ph.D. for two years. I

joined Wayne State University on November 2000 as a visiting scholar and working in the Center

of Automotive Research (CAR) towards my Ph.D. which was titled “An Experimental

Investigation for the Use of the Spark Plug as an Ion Probe with Negative Polarity”. During my

stay at Wayne State University I was offered a research assistant position to work on a new

project funded by the US army to cover the topic of using ionization current in Diesel engines. I

offered also a position of part time faculty during my stay which extended to 2004.

I returned back to Egypt in 2004 to join Shoubra Faculty of Engineering as an assistant professor

in 2004. I was full time faculty till 2009 where I joined the British University in Egypt as a full

time faculty till now.

Based on my experience in engines, most of my research and my teaching interest were focused

on this area of energy production.

Few years ago, since 2007, and because of the limited resources in the field of ICE and because

of the increasing interest in the field of renewable energies in Egypt, I started my research in the

field of solar energy to build my next stage of my carrier based on this field of energies

(Cooperation with others in the field of engines research still in progress).

Towards this objectives and as a part of my professional work I was able to achieve the

following:

Supervising 42 graduation projects.

Supervising 14 M.Sc. And Ph.D. students.

Publishing 21 technical articles in different peer reviewed journals and International conferences.

Attending different workshops and training programs such as: Train-the-trainer workshop on solar thermal, organized by RENAC-OASIS Solar Academy Egypt (ROSAE) in collaboration with the Solar Energy Development Association of Egypt (SEDA) and supported by the German Development Cooperation, Private Sector Development Programme (GIZ-PSDP). (13.04. – 16.04.2014 & 15.06. – 18.06.2014). Also, attending a researcher links workshop which is organized by the University of Nottingham and held in London under the support of the British Council, UK, March 31st to April 3rd 2014.

On the same level, as teaching and research activities, I have a good experience in consulting

and managing USAID projects in Egypt for over twelve years. Also, I am a registered trainer at

different organizations.

Research Interests:

My research plan is focusing on two main streams; internal combustion engines and solar

thermal energy applications.

My research activities include some other topics in the field of combustion where experimental

and theoretical investigations are applied.


Consultant in different USAID projects in Egypt.

Solar thermal applications.

Installation & Commissioning of Boilers, Heat Exchanger and Engines.

Fuel Combustion.

I have a good experience in establishing and constructing experimental work on test rigs. I have

the experience in selecting sensors, measuring devices, signals, control methodologies, and



troubleshooting of devices. This experience was collected through my work in the research field

and from the projects conducted in the industry.
