Dr. Yosri received his BSc. in Civil Engineering and MSc. in Water Resources Engineering from Cairo University in 2012 and 2015, respectively. Dr. Yosri received his Ph.D. in civil engineering from McMaster University in Canada in 2019. His Ph.D. research focused on developing analytical, numerical, and data-driven models to describe colloid behavior in subsurface systems, particularly in fractured aquifers. In 2020, Dr. Yosri joined the Department of Civil Engineering and the INTERFACE institute for multi-hazard and systemic risk studies at McMaster University as a postdoctoral fellow. His postdoctoral work focused on the use of data-driven modelling to describe the deterioration of infrastructure systems, predict the infrastructure performance under climate-induced disasters, and simulate the flood effects on urban centers. In 2021, Dr. Yosri joined the Department of Irrigation and Hydraulics Engineering at Cairo University as an Assistant Professor. Dr. Yosri’s research interest has two folds: the use of data-driven modelling to simulate complex phenomena that cannot be described using classical mathematical and statistical tools; and, the use of city information modelling to quantify the community vulnerability and resilience under natural and anthropogenic hazards.
