Abdulmajeed Mohamad

Biography

Professor Mohamad graduated with a BSc and MSc from Baghdad University's College of Engineering with honors. His PhD is from the School of Mechanical Engineering at Purdue University in the US. Dr. Mohamad has been invited by many institutes around the world as a keynote speaker, invited professor, lecturer, and theses and program evaluator. He has organized and chaired/co-chaired a few successful conferences on the transport in porous media and computational fluid dynamics, and heat and mass transfer.

Professor Mohamad is the author of a textbook (entitled Lattice Boltzmann Method Fundamentals and Engineering Applications with Computer Codes), published by Springer in 2011. The second edition will be available in 2019. This book is translated into two languages (Chinese by Springer and a Parisian by a private publisher).

Dr. Mohamad was acting Dean of Engineering, Alfaisal University, while he was on leave from the University of Calgary.  

Publications

Dr. Mohamad is elected Fellow Member of American Society of Mechanical Engineer (ASME) and Executive Scientific council member of International Centre for Heat and Mass Transfer. He has authored and co-authored more than 250 papers and graduated over 40 PhD and MSc students.
