Manufacturing Technology

Professor Helmi A. Youssef - Based on several research and educational laboratories, which he has built, Professor Youssef founded his own scientific school in both Traditional and Non-traditional Machining Technologies. In the early 1970s, he established the first NTM research laboratory in Alexandria University. Since that time, he carried out intensive research in his fields of specialization and supervised many Ph.D. and M. Sc. theses. Professor Youssef has organized and participated in many international conferences. He has published many scientific papers in specialized journals. He authored many books in his fields of specialization, two of which are singly authored. Currently, Professor Youssef is an emeritus Professor in PED, Alexandria University. His work in the time being involves developing courses and conducting research in the areas of metal cutting and nontraditional machining. Professor Hassan El-Hofy - has published over 90 scientific and technical papers and has supervised many graduate students in the area of advanced machining. He serves as a consulting editor for many international journals and is a regular participant in many international conferences. Between August 2007, and July 2010 he was the chairperson of the Department of Production Engineering, AU. In October 2011 he was selected as the Vice Dean for Education and Student’s affairs, college of Engineering, AU. Between December 2012 and February 2018 he was the Dean of the Innovative Design Engineering (IDE) School at Egypt-Japan University of Science and Technology (E-JUST) in Alexandria, Egypt. He worked as an acting Vice President of Research from December 2014 to April 2017 at E-JUST. Currently, he is a professor of machining technology at the Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering (IME) at E-JUST, Egypt. Professor M. Hamed Ahmed constructed and taught numerous graduate and undergraduate courses in the general fields of materials and manufacturing, to name a few; Failure Analysis, Material Selection, Finite Element Analysis, Fracture Mechanics, Non-destructive Testing, Advanced Manufacturing Processes, Theory of Plasticity, Solid Mechanics, Die Design, Metal Forming, Metal Cutting, Non-conventional Machining, Welding Technology, Engineering Materials, and Manufacturing Technology. Professor Ahmed took part in establishing and developing laboratories in the same fields including The Material Technology Lab. (Alex. University), Material Testing, Forming Machines, CNC Machining, Metrology, and Electroplating Labs. (UAE University), as well as Non-conventional Machining, and CNC Machining Labs. (King Abdul-Aziz University, KSA). Over the years, Professor Ahmed has supervised numerous M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees, covering the areas of Electro-Discharge Machining, Failure of Welded Joints, Extrusion of Fluted Sections, Plasma Cutting, Ultrasonic Machining, Pulsed Current MIG Welding, Compression of Tubular Sections, Forward Tube Spinning, Characterization of Engineering Materials Using Nodal Analysis, Selection of Non-Traditional Machining Processes, Thermo-mechanical Rolling, Functionally Graded Metal Matrix Composites, Manufacturing of Porous Metals and AM Assisted Manufacturing. Prof. Ahmed has a good track record of publishing in numerous national/international conferences and reputable journals. He also contributed to the development and improvement of industrial activities within Alexandria through consultations related to solving design and manufacturing problems, material and product inspection, failure analysis, plant layouts, feasibility and opportunity studies, as well as running crash and training courses in the relevant fields of interest.
