Dr. Mohamed Meguid

Prof. Meguid is the Department Chair at McGill University, Canada, specializing in geomechanics and geotechnical engineering, with a focus on subsurface structures and geosynthetic engineering. His work, driven by sustainable engineering solutions, has significantly advanced these fields. He is a member of the Trottier Institute for Sustainability in Engineering and Design, the Geosynthetics Technical Committee of the ASCE Geo-Institute, a Board Member of the Canadian Society for Civil Engineering. Dr. Meguid is Associate Editor of Geotextiles and Geomembranes and the Editor-in-Chief of the Geotechnical and Geological Engineering journal.
Prof. Meguid’s contributions in geosynthetics, especially in soil-geosynthetic interactions and their applications in civil engineering, earned him the 2022 Geosynthetics Research Award from the Canadian Geotechnical Society. His research group is also pioneering in AI applications in civil engineering, developing Machine Learning tools for estimating the service life of infrastructure under environmental challenges.
A dedicated educator, Prof. Meguid is recognized for his commitment to empowering students in engineering education, having received the Samuel and Ida Fromson Award for Outstanding Teaching, and being nominated for the Principal’s Award for Excellence in Teaching at McGill University.
