Mohamed Meguid

Professor Meguid’s research can be broadly categorized into three primary areas of specialization (i) soil-structure interaction, (ii) geosynthetic engineering, (iii) multi-scale modeling of granular material in contact with buried structures.

Professor Meguid has an international reputation in the sustainable design of buried lifeline systems. He is currently a member of the Trottier Institute for Sustainability in Engineering and Design at McGill University and has been invited to join the Trenchless Engineering International Research Advisory Committee since 2011. Professor Meguid has served as an expert reviewer for major tunneling projects in Canada.

Since joining McGill, Professor Meguid’s teaching activities have been largely in geotechnical engineering and numerical modeling in geomechanics. In 2010, he received the Samuel and Ida Fromson Award for Outstanding Teaching in the Faculty of Engineering. He was also nominated by the Department for the Principal’s Prize for Excellence in Teaching in 2011.
