Mohamed Ashour

Mohamed Ashour is a Professor and Coordinator of the Civil Engineering Program at Alabama A&M University. He holds a Ph.D. in Civil (Geotechnical) Engineering from the University of Nevada, Reno (1998), and has held academic appointments at institutions including Mansoura University and the University of Alabama. His specialization is in Geotechnical Engineering, with a focus on Soil-Structure Interaction, Pile Behavior, and Seismic Engineering.

Education:

• Ph.D. - Civil (Geotechnical) Engineering, University of Nevada, Reno (1998)
• M.S. - Civil Engineering, Mansoura University, Egypt (1991)
• B.S. - Civil Engineering, Mansoura University, Egypt (1986)

Research interests include Soil-Structure Interaction, Laterally/Axially Loaded Piles, Soil Modeling, Liquefaction, Slope Stabilization, and Earthquake Engineering. His work emphasizes experimental testing and computational analysis of geotechnical systems. Recent publications focus on pile response in liquefied soils and seismic foundation behavior.

Professional memberships include the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) and the Deep Foundation Institute (DFI). He is a licensed Professional Engineer in California and Nevada.
