Mahmoud Farag joined AUC in 1971 after six years teaching at Ain Shams University. He served as the Vice Provost from 1992 to 2005 and in that capacity undertook several studies of the AUC research culture whose recommendations have proven to be valuable for several completed and ongoing reforms.
He has served as a visiting scientist/scholar at institutions ranging from Sheffield in the UK to MIT and the University of Kentucky in the USA to Aachen Technical University in Germany. He has published four engineering textbooks, edited one book, and written several book chapters and authored and co-authored more than 80 papers in academic journals and conference proceedings on issues related to the effect of microstructure on the behavior of engineering materials.
He also has wide industrial experience and has even done service on corporate Boards of Directors. When his career at AUC began, no engineering courses were offered; today, he has the satisfaction of seeing applied engineering being among those disciplines covered in AUC's first-ever doctoral program, to be launched in fall 2010 in the School of Sciences and Engineering.
