Notă biografică

Prof. Abd el-aziz Khairy Abd el-aal is a geologist and geophysicist professor.  He is now working at Kuwait Institute for Scientific Research, Kuwait since 2019. In 1999 He joined National Research Institute of Astronomy and Geophysics (NRIAG) Helwan, Egypt. Formerly, he was the director of Egyptian National Seismic Network (ENSN). He obtained a Bachelor's degree in Geological and Geophysical Sciences with a very good grade with honors from the Faculty of Science, Sohag University, Egypt in 1992. In 2003 He received his M.Sc. in applied geophysics. In 2006, He awarded PhD degree in applied geophysics. His research interests are mainly focus on engineering seismology, tectonics, hazard mitigation, seismic exploration and environmental sciences. He was working in shallow and deep seismic group in NRIAG.

He conducted many shallow seismic profiles and site investigation in different part of Egypt. The subject of his PhD is certainly in seismic risk reduction. He has worked in many field-related sub-disciplines of Earth Sciences including engineering geology, geotechnical engineering, tectonics, crustal deformation, installing seismic networks and seismic hazard mitigation. He has a good experience in teaching seismic courses in many universities in Egypt. He has participated as first and co-author in more than 85 published papers and book chapters in international indexed and refereed scientific Journals and conferences. He is working as associate editor of many international scientific journals such as Arabian Journal of Geosciences (AJGS), Journal of Petroleum Exploration and Production Technology (JPEPT) … Etc.  He is now acting as referee in most high standing international journals publish in seismology and hazard mitigation subjects.
