Ahmed Makhlouf – Water resources – Young Scientist Award
Dr. Ahmed Makhouf distinguished academic and researcher in the field Water Resources.
Dr. Ahmed Makhouf distinguished academic and researcher in the field Water Resources.
Mr. Victor Klaba distinguished academic and researcher in the field Hydrogeology. Specialized in hydrogeology for five years, he has developed a range of skills from fieldwork to analysis and interpretation, while collaborating with scientists, water resource managers, and politicians. As water resources are one of the pillars of our societies, this science is crucial for humanity and its future, especially in view of current challenges such as climate change, war, and demographic development. Moreover, he specializes in the study of a specific hydrogeological object: the Karst. Representing the main drinking water resource for 25% of the world’s population, this object is highly vulnerable and difficult to study due to its high degree of heterogeneity and anisotropy.
Mr. Ziaul Haq Doost distinguished academic and researcher in the field Water Resource. He has dedicated over nine years to his pursuits and professional endeavors, maintaining a multifaceted career path. During this time, he has been engaged with King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals (KFUPM) as a PhD student, contributing to his academic advancement and research endeavors. Simultaneously, he has served as a District Engineer at MRRD, where he applied his engineering expertise to various projects. Additionally, he took on the role of Project Manager at Tawana Services, Development, and Cultural Organization, specifically leading the FFA Project. He further extended his impact by collaborating with OXFAM Novib-(Herat-AFG) International Organization, where he participated in the CITEZEN’s CHARTER program as a Civil Engineer, contributing to community development initiatives. Prior to these roles, he gained valuable experience as a Civil Engineer at Shahran Construction & Engineering LTD (SCL), focusing on irrigation projects. Through these diverse experiences, he has demonstrated his versatility and commitment to making meaningful contributions across academia, development projects, and construction initiatives.
Dr. Mohamed Hamdy Eid distinguished academic and researcher in the field Biological and Technological Networks. He served as an Assistant Lecturer at Beni-Suef University’s Faculty of Science from 2017 to 2021. In this role, he was responsible for teaching a range of practical courses covering subjects such as Hydrology, Hydrogeology, water quality assessment, water resources management, Geophysics, Rocks, Mineralogy, Stratigraphy, Crystallography, and water treatment methods. Additionally, he provided instruction in various software applications essential to the field, including ArcGIS, AQUACHEM, Grapher, Surfer, and Diagrammes, equipping students with valuable technical skills. Moreover, he supervised fieldwork and laboratory sessions, guiding students in conducting measurements and analyses of water samples and rocks sourced from diverse environments. Through his teaching and mentorship, he contributed significantly to the academic and professional development of students in the field of Earth Sciences.
He holds a BSc in Geology and Chemistry from Beni-Suef University, Egypt, graduating with first honor class (excellent grade) in September 2015. Subsequently, he pursued a Pre-Master’s program in Hydrogeology at the same university from September 2016 to September 2020. During this time, he demonstrated a strong academic foundation and passion for the field.
Expanding his academic horizons, he pursued an MSc in Environmental Engineering at Szent István University, Hungary, achieving an outstanding GPA of 4.85/5 from September 2018 to June 2020. His dedication to excellence continued as he embarked on a PhD journey in Hydrogeology at the Faculty of Earth Science and Engineering, Miskolc University, where he has maintained an impressive GPA of 4.88/5 in his third year, demonstrating his commitment to advanced research and scholarly pursuits since 2021.
