About me
I have graduated in Faculty of Engineering - Cairo University in 2016 as a mining engineer, then i have been awarded my MSc degree in 2021 working on rock mechanics and numerical modelling. After that, i worked in my PhD on the utilization of shallow geothermal cooling in Egypt as a hot climate. I have designed and supervised the implementation of the first shallow geothermal pilot plant in Egypt, found at Cairo University.
