I have been practising structural design engineering since 2006. I advanced from a junior structural design engineer to a senior lead structural engineer throughout these years. I worked with EHAF Consulting Engineers, Qatar, between October 2010 and December 2019, where I gained much experience and enjoyed designing a wide range of high-profile projects. Also, I worked with SSH IC, Cairo, Albonain Consultant Engineers, Giza, and Cosmos-E, Cairo, for two successful years each and appreciated working with APG, Abu Dhabi, and AMG, Cairo, for short periods. Recently, I have joined Lacasa, Dubai.
My experience covers the structural design of high-rise, low-rise commercial and residential buildings. Also, I participated in the structural design of security centres, compounds, sports, storage facilities and schools.
I acquired a BSc in structural engineering from Ainshams University, Cairo, in 2006. In 2018, I received an MSc in structural and foundation engineering from Heriot-watt University, Edinburgh. Recently, I obtained a PhD in Civil Engineering from Heriot-watt University, Edinburgh.
I am honoured to be a member of the following professional bodies: The Institution of Structural Engineers (IStructE), the Egyptian Syndicate of Engineers, and the Qatari Register of Engineers. I am working towards being chartered by the IStructE and the Engineering Council.
Also, I obtained two certifications from RICS, UK, in construction project management and BIM project management.
Across both my career and post-graduate studies, I have designed different structural systems: reinforced concrete, post-tensioned concrete, structural steel, and composite systems. Designing projects in Egypt and the Gulf countries and studying in the UK allows me to apply a wide range of codes and standards: ECP, QCS, ASCE, ACI, AISC, BSI, Eurocodes, and FEMA.
I have used different modelling, analysis and design tools at professional and academic post-graduate levels: CSi ETABS, SAFE, SAP2000, OpenSees, Dassault Systèmes Abaqus, Autodesk Robot, Prokon, Tekla Tedds, Autodesk Revit and AutoCAD. Furthermore, as a part of my research, I have been practising TCL and MathWorks Matlab programming languages.
