Professor Brahim Benmokrane
(Ph.D., P.Eng.) holds the prestigious Tier-1 Canada Research Chair in Advanced Composite Materials for Civil Structures and the Senior Industrial Research Chair in Innovative FRP Reinforcement for Sustainable Concrete Infrastructure at the Department of Civil & Building Engineering at University of Sherbrooke (Sherbrooke, QC, Canada). Professor Benmokrane is one of the world's leaders in the field of structural concrete internally reinforced with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcement. His research has significantly influenced the development of concrete structures reinforced with FRP bars, building codes, design specifications, and FRP reinforcement's practical use in North America and beyond. His research and professional services have been recognized with several awards. Some of his more note-worthy awards have come from ACI, CSCE, CSA, EIC, OIQ, IIFC, NSERC, and the Royal Society of Canada (Fellow of Academy ofScience). He has published over 700 papers and books and has given over 250 lectures worldwide. He currently leads a research group of 36 and has trained 170 researchers. More than 30 of his former graduate students now hold faculty positions in Canada and abroad.
Dr. Khaled Mohamed is a Research Associate in the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Sherbrooke, Canada, and an R&D engineer in Pultrall/V-ROD, Canada. He received his MSc from Assiut University, Egypt, and Ph.D. from the University of Sherbrooke, Canada. His research interest includes the structural behavior and durability of reinforced concrete structures reinforced with fiber-reinforced polymers.
Dr. Ahmed Sabry Farghaly is a Research Associate in the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Sherbrooke, Canada. Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at Assiut University. His research interests include nonlinear analysis of reinforced concrete structures, seismic analysis, performance-based analysis, and sustainability. He has an excellent grasp of structural engineering principles of being Lead Structure and Consultant Engineer with expertise in the field of Power, Oil & Gas industries.
Dr. Hamdy Mohamed is a civil engineer and holds a professional engineer license in Canada, with solid experience in research and teaching of reinforced concrete bridges and building structures. He holds a BSc with honors, MSc, Egypt, and Ph.D. in Civil Engineering, Canada. He has taken up several academic roles, including Research Associate, Lecturer, Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, and Course Director. He is a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (SFHEA) in the UK. Dr. Hamdy's research interest is the use of FRP reinforcement in concrete bridges, parking garages, continuous-reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP), water tanks, underground concrete chambers, and tunneling marine structures.
