He received his B.Sc. (1997) and M.Sc. (2002) from the Military Technical College and his Ph.D. (2010) from McGill University. He was a postdoctoral fellow at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. From 2011 to 2015, Dr. El Sayed was an Aircraft Loads Engineering Specialist at Bombardier Aerospace. He was involved in all of Bombardier\u2019s new development programs, as well as in the Research and Development of the company\u2019s strategic technologies and future aircraft concepts. His contributions included the implementation of a wide range of dynamic loads analyses for aircraft structural design and optimization. He was also the knowledge owner of the aircraft Water Ditching and Sustained Engine Imbalance (SEI) analyses and a member of the in-service support team. Dr. Mostafa El Sayed is a certified Professional Engineer in the province of Ontario (PEO).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Research Interests<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Multiscale Mechanics of Ultra-light, Multifunctional Architectured Meta-Materials and Structures.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Additive manufacturing and Applications for Green Technologies<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fluid Structure Interaction (FSI).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Structural Optimization.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Applied Mechanics: Airframes Critical Loads Recovery Applications and Design Optimization with Applications to Future Concepts of Passenger &amp; Cargo Transports, Spacecraft and UAVs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Research Opportunities<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Graduate\/undergraduate students and postdoctoral fellows interested in any of the research areas listed above are encouraged to consult the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/aerospace-structures-and-materials\/opportunities\/\">Opportunities&nbsp;<\/a>section of the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/aerospace-structures-and-materials\/\">ASME-Lab&nbsp;<\/a>for currently open positions.
