Biography

An Associate Professor in architecture with a Ph.D. in Environmental Engineering from E-JUST and Tokyo Tech since 2020. I have M.Sc. and B.Sc. in architecture since graduating in 2009 from Tanta University. I have a Diploma in the LCA and EPD from EPD Egypt since 2021. My doctoral study was on the sustainability of High-Performance Glazing Systems. I worked in EPD Egypt to issue the first EPD Certificate in Egypt for SANMAR CO. PVC products made me an expert in LCA and sustainability. I have a long experience in teaching and learning methods since I was appointed to be a Teaching Assistant and Assistant Lecturer at the Department of Architecture, Tanta University, in 2010 and 2015. I worked as a lecturer inengineering institutes in Cairo. I am teaching undergraduate and postgraduate courses, including; Architectural Design, Working Drawings, Graduation Projects, Computational Modelling amp; Sustainable Analysis, Building Laws and Legislation, Researchers of Environmental Planning and Design, and Special Studies in Advanced Architectural Design. As a researcher and a supervisor of postgraduate students, I am interested in some research fields, such as; Sustainable and Green Buildings, Sustainable Urban Development, Thermal and Visual Comfort in Buildings, Smart Materials, and Kinetic Facades. I have published several papers high ranked international journals and conferences. I developed an integrated methodology to assess the environmental, economic, and social aspects of HPGSs, especially for the prospective office buildings in the New Administrative Capital of Egypt. I have +16 years of experience in green and hi-tech building integrated systems. Since 2010, I have participated in the design of several green architectural and urban projects in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Cameron, including Egypt housing and slum upgrading (UN-Habitat), Economic local housing competition in Egypt, British University in Egypt, Heritage Village in Al-Baha, and Magrabi Eye Center in Yaoundé.
