Professor Ibrahim Shaaban
Ibrahim graduated from Ain Shams University, Egypt, in 1984. Since his graduation as a civil engineer, his career has progressed through three parallel paths, namely:
- academic (teaching and research)
- professional engineering
- education development and higher education policy and strategies.
He was awarded a PhD from the University of Dundee, UK, in 1993. Over the years he taught several courses related to design of concrete structures, structural analysis, properties of materials and concrete technology.
In 2005, he secured a professor post at Benha University, Egypt, which was a new independent university at that time. In 2007, he was promoted to Head of Department of Civil Engineering at the same university and in 2011 became the first Elected Dean for the Faculty of Engineering at Shoubra, Benha University. From January 2013 to August 2014, he worked as Director of the “Higher Education Enhancement Projects Unit”. Through that position, he became part of the network of higher education development experts in the MENA region. From September 2014 to January 2018, Benha University VC appointed Ibrahim as consultant and expert in higher education strategies. In addition, Ibrahim was a part time visiting professor at University of Petronas, Malaysia from 2010-2013.
Ibrahim has been active in providing professional engineering consultancy since his graduation in 1984 through various routes (ie self-employment, well established engineering offices as well as the university consultancy service). Ibrahim's work has included laboratory testing of building materials, in situ testing of existing structures, structural design, redesign of structures for change in use, construction site supervision, revision of designs of other designers and provision of evidence in courts of law/public hearings regarding the state of structures after inspection. Ibrahim has earned Chartered status from the Egyptian Syndicate of Engineers, which is the professional qualification awarding body in Egypt.
In October 2015, Ibrahim returned to the UK as a scholar visitor at the University of Liverpool. He started multidisciplinary research work with colleagues from Egypt, Malaysia, Coventry, and Liverpool. Ibrahim’s research interests include innovative and sustainable materials, retrofitting of structural buildings, durability of structural concrete elements and their relation to structural design. He participated in publishing more than 100 journal and conference papers with authors from many countries. Since 2002, he supervised 11 PhD candidates till completion, and he is currently supervising 10 MSc and 3 PhD students. Ibrahim was invited as External Examiner (EE) for 55 MSc students and 23 PhD students in a number of national universities such as Coventry, Derby, Wales, and international universities in Egypt, Malaysia, Pakistan, and Sudan.
In July 2016, Ibrahim was granted fellowship of the Institution of Civil Engineers and currently is active in committees and subcommittees in the ICE. After he became a fellow of the Higher Education Academy (HEA) in 2016, Ibrahim started teaching undergraduate and graduate students at the University of Liverpool. Later in 2018, Ibrahim was appointed as a senior lecturer in University of Liverpool.
In 2019, Ibrahim was appointed as a senior lecturer in Civil Engineering at the University of West London with more teaching duties in Civil Engineering subjects. He consciously links teaching activities to his industrial experience and complies with the quality assurance criteria for higher education (measurement of learning outcomes, student surveys, open communication with students, documentation of course materials, etc.). As a sort of appreciation for his contribution during the last three years, the University of Liverpool offered Ibrahim an honorary post as an honorary fellow (Visiting Professor) to keep the academic link. In January 2021, Ibrahim was promoted to a Reader in Civil engineering. Between 2019-2021, his applications for various professional bodies have been successful and Ibrahim is now entitled to use the designatory letters CEng, FICE, SFHEA, MIStructE, FIStructE.
In September 2022, Ibrahim developed and became the leader for the MSc Structural Engineering program. In October 2023, Ibrahim became Head of Civil Engineering. Ibrahim became Head of the Sustainability in Civil, Structural and Geotechnical Engineering Research Group in January 2024. Ibrahim Shaaban is currently Professor of Structural Engineering.
