Mohy Saad Mansour is a professor of thermo-fluids, combustion, and laser diagnostics of turbulent reacting flows – mechanical power engineering department at Cairo University. He is a fellow of the combustion Institute – USA. He received his B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees from Cairo University in mechanical engineering. Then he was awarded his Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from the University of Sydney – Australia.
Prof. Mansour started his career at the department of mechanical power engineering – Cairo University in 1981 as a tutor and teaching assistant. Then he was appointed lecturer assistant (1985); lecturer (1992); Associate professor (1997) and finally professor (2002) at the same department. He joined the American University in Cairo during the periods 1999 – 2005 and 2012-2020 as full-time faculty and as adjunct faculty during the period 2005-2012.
He was appointed several administrative positions as the dean of the National Institute of Laser Enhanced Sciences (NILES) – Cairo University for the period 2005-2008, the dean of faculty of engineering – BeniSuef University for the period 2009-2010, and finally the vice-president for educational and students’ affairs at BeniSuef University for the period 2010-2011.
Prof. Mansour established a laser diagnostics lab at the institute of combustion RWTH University of Aachen – Germany during the period 1990-1992 and continued to visit and provide support to the Ph.D. students working in this lab on regular basis every year. He also has several international research links with Lund University, Cleveland State University, North Carolina State University, and Sydney University. He was the technical advisor of the center of excellence, COE, for energy in Egypt.
The COE was financially supported by USAID and implemented by MIT. Ain Shams, Mansoura, and Aswan Universities are Egyptian partners. His total publications are 146 with total citations of 1555 and his h-index is 22 (Scopus – August 2021) [h-index 25 and 2239 google scholar]. In 1997 he received a highly ranked national award in Engineering Sciences from the Academy of Scientific Research and Technology (ASRT). He was recognized in the list of the top 2% impactful scientists globally in the Stanford University Elsevier study in two successive years, 2020 and 2021. His major fields of research are energy, combustion, laser applications in laminar- turbulent-reacting flows and material technology, and combustion systems. Prof. Mansour can attract national and international research funds.
