Samar Younes

Samar Younes is a Lecturer in the Department of Civil, Environmental and Construction Engineering at the University of Central Florida (UCF), College of Engineering, where she has been serving since 2022. She holds advanced degrees in Civil Engineering from UCF and contributes to both teaching and research in civil infrastructure and engineering education.

Education:

• Doctor of Philosophy in Civil Engineering, 2020, University of Central Florida
• Master of Science in Civil Engineering, 2013, University of Central Florida
• Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering, 2000, University of Alexandria, Egypt

Her research interests focus on soil erosion in geotechnical systems, geographic information systems (GIS), and the application of artificial intelligence tools in higher education, particularly within engineering pedagogy. She is actively engaged in advancing engineering education through technology integration.

The available publication reflects her work in transportation systems, specifically analyzing truck re-routing under incident-induced congestion. This work aligns with broader themes in intelligent transportation, urban mobility, and infrastructure resilience, indicating a multidisciplinary approach combining civil engineering with computational modeling.

Currently, no scientific awards are listed in the provided information.
