Biography

Associate Professor of Applied Geophysics and Head of the Geology Department at the Faculty of Science, Port Said University. With extensive academic and research expertise, his work encompasses a broad range of applied geophysical methods applied to environmental, hydrogeological, and energy resources challenges. His specializations include near-surface geophysics—such as high-resolution Ground-Penetrating Radar (GPR) processing, electrical resistivity, environmental geophysics, and radiometric gamma-ray spectrometry for identifying radioactive element distributions. Additionally, his expertise extends to hydrocarbon exploration through detailed seismic data interpretation and petrophysical wireline log evaluation. He has collaborated on joint international and regional research initiatives and authored numerous publications in peer-reviewed scientific journals.
