Prof. Nabil Elminshawy

Brief Bio

Professor Nabil Elminshawy is in Mechanical Power engineering department at Port-Said University Egypt, after completed his PhD in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Leeds, England. He was the head of department and also the chairman of quality assurance and accreditation center of Port-Said University. He has experience of research and teaching in the field of thermal and renewable energy, solar energy including photovoltaics (floating & land based) and water desalination national and international. Prof. Elminshawy served as full professor in mechanical engineering department at [Suez Canal University, Port-Said University, (EGYPT)], [Qassim University and Islamic University, Madinah (Saudi Arabia)]. In 1998 a recipient of research excellence prize from higher education ministry “Egyptian state prize” of advanced technology and engineering sciences. He also awarded in 2022 “University Appreciation Award”. Through a range of research efforts and large-scale funded projects, Prof. Elminshawy has gathered experience in renewable energy diverse systems, and solar energy driven water desalination, in addition to intensifying work in solar systems including conventional and floating photovoltaic systems productivity improvements and multigeneration renewable co-products including nanotechnology and geothermal energy. To date, all these works have been published in many papers in highly ranked ISI journals (Q1). Prof. Nabil Elminshawy is a reviewer for several international journals in energy, applied thermal engineering, international journal of energy research, desalination and water treatment, …ect and has a clear records in publons web of science. Furthermore, Prof. Nabil Elminshawy is presently the principal investigator (PI) of a funded project in collaboration with the Department of Naval Architecture, Marine and Ocean Engineering (NAOME), Glasgow, Strathclyde University, UK, funded by international "Newton Fund Institutional Links" (UK).
