Afterwards he went to Germany at "University of Hannover", where he got a master degree with "Distinction" in "Geotechnique and Infrastructure Engineering" . His PhD study under the excellent supervision of "Prof. Achim Hettler" at University of Dortmund - Germany was completed in 1999 with innovative results related to the "Numerical Investigation of Scale Effect by Earth Pressure Problems". After getting his Ph.D., he joined the team at Institute for Geotechnical Engineering at "Leibniz University of Hannover" as Senior Lecturer then he was nominated by the head of the department "Prof. Martin Achmus" to be his "Oberingenieur"-"Deputy Head". During his academic career, he published with the team in his department "Institute for Geotechnical Engineering (IGtH) more than 60 publications mainly in the Numerical Modeling of Foundations Systems for Wind Energy Plants (Onshore & Offshore) and supervised more that 80 Bachelor and Master theses.Different conference publications have been awarded "Best Conference Paper Award" e.g. "K. Abdel-Rahman & M. Achmus " Behaviour of Monopile and Suction Bucket Foundation Systems for Offshore Wind Energy Plants" in 2006. Last but not least, winning in 2016 "Outstanding Paper Award" from the international journal "Computers and Geotechnics" for a paper with "Prof. Martin Achmus" et al. titled "Behaviour of Monopile Foundations under Cyclic Lateral Loading". Dr. Bengt H. Fellenius is a professional engineer specializing in foundation design and studies by participation in project teams, special investigations, instrumented field tests, etc. Services are also provided in regard to construction problems, claims, and litigation in collaboration with Consultants and Contractors, as well as Owners. Dr. Fellenius, Professor of Civil Engineering at the University of Ottawa from 1979 through 1998, is an internationally recognized authority in the field of soil mechanics and foundation engineering, and, in particular, in deep foundations. He has gained a wealth of practical experience during more than 50 years of work at home and overseas through a variety of assignments that encompass foundation, embankment, and soil improvement design for water and sewage
