Professional Profiles:

Education:

Jan. 1997 – Ph.D. in Geochemistry from the University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Ontario, with a thesis titled “Isotopic Composition of Silurian Brachiopods: Implications for Coeval Seawater.” The research involved the reconstruction of reference isotope profiles (δ13C, δ18O, and 87Sr/86Sr) for the Silurian Period for high-resolution global stratigraphic correlations and the reconstruction of Silurian paleoenvironmental conditions (paleoclimatic and paleoceanographic patterns) from the geochemistry of marine carbonates. July 1992 – M.Sc. in Geology from the University of Windsor, Windsor, Ontario, with a thesis titled “Subsurface Diagenetic Evolution and Porosity Evaluation of Middle-Upper Devonian Kee Scarp Reef, Norman Wells, N.W.T., Canada.” The research included the genetic classification of micropores, the relationship of micropores to reef habitat, carbonate petrography, and the differential response, reflected by the nature of micropores, of skeletal and non-skeletal components in different facies to the diagenetic water-rock interaction and their associated changes in the geochemistry of carbonates. May 1983 – B.Sc. Honours in Geology-Chemistry (double major) from Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt.

Experience:

Sept. 2011-present – Professor at Memorial University of Newfoundland. Jan. 2005-Aug. 2011 – Associate Professor at Memorial University of Newfoundland. Oct. 2003-Dec. 2004 – Senior Lecturer and Head of the Stable Isotope Lab at the University of Basel, Basel, Switzerland. Jan 2002-Dec. 2002 – Geologist at BAHANA, LLC in Nevada, USA. Jun 2001-Dec. 2001 – Research Geochemist at the Harry Reid Center for Environmental Studies, University of Nevada Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. Conducted research on the geochemistry of groundwater around the Nevada Test Site in the USA, including the high-resolution reconstruction of flow paths from major, trace, rare earth elements, and stable isotope signals of groundwater. Identified unknown aquifers and hydrologic connections between aquifers using stable isotope signals of water (87Sr/86Sr & δ34S).

Teaching Experience:

He have taught various courses related to geology and geochemistry, including “Stable Isotope and Their Applications in Carbonate Paleoenvironment, Chemostratigraphy, and Diagenesis,” a graduate short course at the University of Milan, Italy in May 2017. At Memorial University of Newfoundland (MUN), I have taught courses such as “Sedimentary Basins and Petroleum Exploration (EASC 4702),” “Sedimentary Diagenesis (EASC 3702),” “Carbonate Environments and Diagenesis (EASC 4720),” “Facies Models (EASC 4700),” “Diagenetic Evolution and Porosity Development in Carbonate Reservoirs (EASC 6972),” “Applications of Stable Isotopes in Carbonate Diagenesis and Paleoenvironment (EASC 6973),” and “The Earth’s Material Resources (EASC 2915).” Additionally, He have taught “Physical Geology (EASC1000)” at MUN. Furthermore, He have taught “Lösungsstrategien im Bereich der Geochemie,” which focuses on analytical techniques and instrumental analysis, at Basel University. 📚🔬
