2. Brief Biography

Since obtaining Ph.D. from McMaster University - Canada in 1994, I have spent more than 25 years gaining wide spectrum of experiences and skills through different well-balanced activities. These activities involve academic and administration responsibilities, research achievements, professional consultations and developments as well as community services. The academic responsibilities include teaching different undergraduate and graduate courses in different universities, supervising capstone design projects, M.Sc. and Ph,D. students, as well as contributing in national and international academic accreditation activates at both program and university levels. In addition, I carried out different administration responsibilities through the involvement in different departmental and college committees.  Research achievements include contribution to research projects and patents as well as publishing more than 50 research publications in well-known journals and international conferences. Through more than 35 years, wide varieties of professional and consultation activities were achieved through the involvement in designing, and reviewing major projects in Egypt and Saudi Arabia through different organizations, as well as contributing in Saudi Code developments. As part of the responsibilities to the community, several activities were achieved that include, reviewing research publications for different journals, evaluating research works for faculty promotions, assessing and evaluating academic programs for national accreditation, and acting as a professional expert in providing and evaluating PE and FE exams.
