Moez Louati is an Adjunct Associate Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST). His expertise spans fluid mechanics of waves, pipeline hydraulics, and smart water infrastructure. He holds a PhD from HKUST, supported by scholarships and the SENG PhD Fellowship Award. His research focuses on pipeline defect detection, hydraulic transients, and smart urban water systems, with notable contributions including the discovery of Bragg resonance connections in pressurized pipes. He has led projects funded by RGC, ITF, and international collaborations, and co-founded Hyele Limited, a startup developing pipeline condition assessment technologies. Education: B.Eng. (Electro-Mechanical Engineering) and MPhil (Renewable Energy) from Tunisia’s National School of Engineering of Sfax (ENIS). Professional credentials include HKIE chartered engineer status and roles as Chair of IAHR’s Africa Division and Assistant Editor of the Journal of Hydraulic Research. Research Interests: Fluid mechanics of waves, computational fluid dynamics (CFD), machine learning for infrastructure optimization, and sustainable water management. Key projects include Smart Urban Water Supply Systems and high-frequency wave-based defect detection methods. Awards: Geneva Innovations Expo 2023/24 awards, Straub Award nomination, and HKUST’s Tech-Ship startup funding. Active in international organizations and advisory roles for Hong Kong’s WSD and DSD. Labs & Facilities: Designed three water lab facilities at HKUST and collaborated globally on projects like the FREJLEV Facility’s air-water stratified flow studies. Holds five patents in pipeline diagnostics and HPC applications.
