Bridging Fundamental Fluids & Acoustics with Industrial Piping Integrity

Chairs the Energy and Modelling Research Group at SESC, directs aeroacoustics and vibration research in renewable energy infrastructure, designs and delivers undergraduate courses in Thermal Sciences, Solid Mechanics, and Vibration, and serves as Program Internal Auditor for ABET and NARS 2022 accreditation alignment.

Licensed Professional Mechanical Engineer in Ontario executing ASME B31.3 Process Piping stress analysis, process plant concept designs, thermalhydraulic network verification, and OpenFOAM/ANSYS FEA-based fluid system qualification.

Performed hydraulic and structural qualification of complex power utility piping systems under ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (Section III and B31.1), field walkdowns, and vibration/noise mitigation in aging piping networks.

Conducted subsonic wind tunnel FSI experiments, static and dynamic finite element stress analysis of valves and pipelines, noise-control prototype testing, and numerical simulations of flow-acoustic coupling and pulsating pipeline flows.

Member of the Noise and Vibration Engineering division conducting ultra-low-noise anechoic measurements on electronic cooling fans, transient/steady-state signal analysis, statistical root-cause diagnostics, and psycho-acoustic user perception studies.

Executed phase-resolved Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) campaigns, sound transmission evaluations, cooling-fan noise mitigation designs, and flow-excited acoustic resonance experiments with the Aeroacoustics Research Team.

Modeled, built, and experimentally characterized standing-wave thermoacoustic heat engines, harmonic suppression inserts, and PIV flow measurements across Cairo University (2010–2013) and the American University in Cairo (2011–2013), following an earlier research internship on porous-media heat transfer at Freiberg University of Mining and Technology, Germany (2009).
