Development of low carbon concrete and a machine learning integrated model tool for predicting strength and embodied carbon for lightweight concrete production (2025)
Thesis

The use of Ground Granulated Blast-furnace Slag (GGBS) as an alternative cement replacement material has shown good results in producing near green concrete. While GGBS exhibits good cementitious properties, concerns regarding slow strength developme...

A comparative study of leading and trailing-edge morphing aerofoil using large eddy simulation (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This study conducts a high-fidelity computational investigation into the aerodynamic performance of a NACA2412 aerofoil with parabolic leading- and trailing-edge morphings. The open-source CFD platform OpenFOAM® is employed using a large eddy simulat... Read More about A comparative study of leading and trailing-edge morphing aerofoil using large eddy simulation.

Addressing mitigation, adaptation, and resilience through community climate and nature action (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This presentation explores Community Climate and Nature Action (CCNA) as a model for positive tipping points. Research indicates that communities need to be engaged in decision-making to enable a ‘just transition’ to a resilient net zero world. The n...

Immersive emergency preparedness: Enhancing tunnel operations with virtual reality door closure training (2025)
Book Chapter

Infrastructure projects, particularly tunnel construction, demand meticulous safety measures due to the complexities involved and the significant risks posed by heavy machinery operations. Despite relying on traditional safety drills and standardized... Read More about Immersive emergency preparedness: Enhancing tunnel operations with virtual reality door closure training.

Design and performance assessment of a residential photovoltaic system in relation to local weather conditions in Egypt (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The growing demand for sustainable energy solutions has elevated photovoltaic (PV) systems as a practical and environmentally viable alternative to conventional power sources in residential settings. This study presents a systematic methodology for t... Read More about Design and performance assessment of a residential photovoltaic system in relation to local weather conditions in Egypt.

Towards a metaverse platform for immersive collaborative design: A critical review of a Furniture, Fixture and Equipment (FFE) application (2025)
Book Chapter

The current technological revolution is rapid and a disruptive catalyst to existing ways of doing business in every aspect of human endeavour. One of the most recent technologies gaining attention is the metaverse, which offers computer-generated s...

Navigating urban futures: Crafting an experimental framework for eye-tracking integrated virtual reality in co-creative planning (2025)
Book Chapter

Wheelchair users (WCUs) often face unnecessary risks and socio-economic exclusion due to inadequate urban infrastructure. In this context, adopting participatory design (PD) in urban infrastructure planning proffers socially inclusive urban developme...

Virtual reality approach to enhancing hazard perception in construction using eye-tracking and deep learning (2025)
Book Chapter

Over 50% of onsite hazards remain unrecognized, primarily due to poor hazard perception and attention deficits. Eye-tracking can help in understanding human visual attention and cognitive response, but its application in construction has been restric... Read More about Virtual reality approach to enhancing hazard perception in construction using eye-tracking and deep learning.

Virtual reality simulation of pedestrian evacuation in earthquake scenarios: Informing urban design for enhanced evacuation (2025)
Book Chapter

Urban risk analysis traditionally relies on 2D maps and models, which, while effective for static risk mapping, lack the ability to realistically simulate dynamic emergency scenarios. The investigation presented in this chapter explores the integrati...
