My research interests center on sustainable structural design with a strong focus on environmentally responsible materials, particularly low-carbon and waste-based concrete mixtures. I am deeply interested in advancing the use of supplementary cementitious materials, recycled components, and innovative sustainable alternatives to reduce embodied carbon while maintaining structural performance. 

A significant part of my research is devoted to developing decision-support frameworks that integrate Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) with Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) to balance environmental, structural, and economic objectives. I am particularly interested in how MCDA can support engineers in selecting optimal materials and design strategies in both the early and developed design stages.

I also work on embedding sustainability assessments within BIM environments, supported by parametric modeling, generative design, and automation, to enable transparent, data-driven decision-making. Additionally, I explore reality-capture technologies and AI-enhanced material identification to support circular construction workflows and maximize reuse potential.

I aim to bridge structural engineering, materials innovation, and computational decision-making to move the built environment toward more circular, resilient, and resource-efficient practices.

I am actively engaged in teaching and knowledge transfer within the fields of sustainability and environmental assessment. I have delivered two online courses on OpenLCA and SimaPro, focused on applying life-cycle assessment tools to support evidence-based design and decision-making.

At the University of Iceland, I contribute to teaching in the UMV201M – Environmental Planning course (Spring 2026), where I support students in understanding sustainable materials and cities.

Beyond formal teaching, I am involved in science communication, having participated in FameLab Egypt, where I focus on making complex sustainability and engineering topics accessible to broader audiences. I am also engaged in entrepreneurship and innovation, exploring pathways that connect academic research with industry needs, particularly in the transition toward sustainable materials, digital tools, and circular construction practices.
