Bio/Research

I obtained an honours bachelor degree in Mechanical Engineering from Ain Shams University, Egypt in 1963 and a M.Sc. and a PhD in Naval Architecture from the University of California, Berkeley. I spent a year as a postdoctoral fellow at Berkeley, then returned to Egypt to work for the Suez Canal Authority in its Port Said Shipyard. In 1980 I moved to Kuwait to work at the Kuwait Institute of Technology where I stayed until moving to Canada in 1986. At the Kuwait Institute of Technology I established a Marine Division within the Department of Mechanical Technology, was head of the Department of Mechanical Technology (1981-1983), and Assistant Director for Academic Affairs (1983-1986).

In 1986 I joined Memorial University of Newfoundland, where I taught in the naval and mechanical disciplines. I chaired the Ocean and Naval Architectural Engineering discipline (1993-1998), became an Associate Dean for Graduate Studies in 1998, Acting Dean (April - October 2000), and Interim Dean (July 2002- October 2003).

I have also acted as a scientific adviser to a number of companies and research centres on various projects dealing with developing solutions to different problems in the area of ocean and naval architectural engineering.
