A complete, date-accurate career timeline. The current emeritus appointment begins on 27 July 2025 and is clearly separated from the October 2024–July 2025 Research Professor period.
Technical research and modelling remained central throughout the career, including periods of institutional and government leadership.
Active, non-administrative academic appointment. Continues research, scientific evaluation, grant development and submission, academic-promotion review, peer review and editorial work, teaching/training, AI/climate analysis and Nile-reservoir modelling.
Served on NWRC’s highest-ranking scientific committee; advanced reservoir simulation and optimization, climate-model integration and AI-enabled decision-support applications.
Directed institute research on climate-change impacts and adaptation for water resources, agriculture and the environment; led technical and financial proposals, multidisciplinary research planning, quality assurance, capacity building, budgets and institute operations.
Evaluated academic-promotion files and research projects; supervised smart-water information-system teams; developed reservoir simulation/optimization and research programmes in remote sensing, desalination and sustainable energy.
Led reservoir and hydrologic modelling, remote-sensing applications, information systems, desalination research, policy initiatives and multidisciplinary technical teams.
Developed decision tools and long-term water-policy support; implemented Upper Nile simulation/optimization models; evaluated research proposals and prepared scientific and technical outputs.
Developed regional indicators, standards, GIS databases, action plans and capacity-building programmes across Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco and Mauritania.
Conducted water-resources policy, simulation, remote-sensing and applied hydrology research; evaluated proposals and communicated research findings to sponsors.
Reviewed water-management studies, developed terms of reference, monitored consultant activities and designed capacity-building workshops for national staff.
Developed Upper Nile simulation, GIS and decision-support systems; supervised national irrigation/drainage information systems and satellite monitoring of the Nile River and rice cultivation.
Implemented irrigation/drainage DSS and information systems; researched neural-network flood prediction, groundwater optimization, reservoir operations and desalination; supervised GIS/remote-sensing systems.
Supervised ministry databases, DSS, GIS laboratory and ministry-wide LAN infrastructure; trained staff and aligned information systems with decision-maker needs.
Developed DSS and expert-system tools for water-shortage scenarios, supply-demand analysis and Egyptian water-policy evaluation; built databases, software and research methodologies.
Research in water-resources planning, desalination, GIS, simulation, optimization and multicriteria analysis; contributed to Natural Resources Workstation and Red Bluff Diversion Dam projects.
Full-time graduate study in Water Resources Planning and Management, with desalination as a specialist topic.
Developed and operated databases; analyzed Aswan High Dam data; calibrated and tested mathematical models; organized scientific workshops and seminars.
Designed reinforced-concrete and steel components for public-transportation and hospital buildings.
Developed custom software programs and database systems for commercial clients.
