Prior to joining SUT, he worked as a research fellow at Monash University from 2009 to 2013. His work at Monash focused in the areas of failure management of pipeline (both onshore and offshore), numerical modelling of pipe-soil interaction, and sensor technology for pipeline monitoring. He earned his BSc degree with Honors in civil engineering from the University of Peradeniya in Sri Lanka and MSc in Earthquake Engineering from ROSE School, University of Pavia in Italy. Prior to pursuing his PhD at ROSE School, he was a visiting researcher at TNO DIANA B.V in The Netherlands and working on dynamic soil-structure interaction (finite element) modelling of geo-systems. He received his PhD in Earthquake Engineering (Structural) in 2008 under the guidance of Professor Paolo. E. Pinto. His research interests include earthquake-resistant design and analysis of structures, pipeline engineering, soil-foundation-structure interaction (SFSI), advanced sensor technology and structural reliability and risk analysis. His research projects have been funded by the Australian Research Council, Department of State government Victoria, CRC for Low Carbon Living, Australian Building Codes Board, Italian Civil Protection Agency, European Union, non-profit institutions, and private industry.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-xl-4 col-md-6 col-12"> <div class="row single-service"> <div class="col-md-4"> <div class="team-member"> <div align="center" class="image-box"> <img src="https://fosterresearch.org/cms/photos/304-invited-Photo.jpg" alt="" style="height:100px;"> <div align="center" class="overlay"> <div class="hover-content"> <ul> <li><a href="#" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#Invited_Speaker_304"><i class="fa fa-eye" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></li> </ul> <p>BIOGRAPHY <i class="fa fa-angle-right" aria-hidden="true"></i> </p> </div>  </div>  </div>  </div> </div> <div class="col-md-8" style="margin-top: 30px;"> <div class="text"> <div align=""> <img src="https://fosterresearch.org/cms/photos/304-Unviversity-Photo.jpg" alt="" style="width:120px;"> </div> <h5 style="font-size:14px;"><a href="#">Prof. Mohamed Elforgani</a></h5> <p style="font-size:13px;line-height: 15px;">Department of Civil and Architectural Engineering</br>Libyan Academy </p> </div>  </div> </div>  </div>  <div class="modal fade" id="Invited_Speaker_304" role="dialog"> <br> <div class="modal-dialog">  <div class="modal-content"> <div class="modal-header"> <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal">×</button> <h4 style="color: #000" class="modal-title">Biography</h4> </div> <div class="modal-body"> <p style="color: #000" align="justify"> </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-xl-4 col-md-6 col-12"> <div class="row single-service"> <div class="col-md-4"> <div class="team-member"> <div align="center" class="image-box"> <img src="https://fosterresearch.org/cms/photos/305-invited-Photo.jpg" alt="" style="height:100px;"> <div align="center" class="overlay"> <div class="hover-content"> <ul> <li><a href="#" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#Invited_Speaker_305"><i class="fa fa-eye" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></li> </ul> <p>BIOGRAPHY <i class="fa fa-angle-right" aria-hidden="true"></i> </p> </div>  </div>  </div>  </div> </div> <div class="col-md-8" style="margin-top: 30px;"> <div class="text"> <div align=""> <img src="https://fosterresearch.org/cms/photos/305-Unviversity-Photo.jpg" alt="" style="width:120px;"> </div> <h5 style="font-size:14px;"><a href="#">Prof. Mohamed Abdalla</a></h5> <p style="font-size:13px;line-height: 15px;"> Department of Civil and Architectural Engineering</br>Libyan Academy </p> </div>  </div> </div>  </div>  <div class="modal fade" id="Invited_Speaker_305" role="dialog"> <br> <div class="modal-dialog">  <div class="modal-content"> <div class="modal-header"> <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal">×</button> <h4 style="color: #000" class="modal-title">Biography</h4> </div> <div class="modal-body"> <p style="color: #000" align="justify"> </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div>  </div>  <div align="" class="col-md-12 pull-right" style="margin-bottom: 20px;"> <div align="" class="col-md-12 pull-right"> <div class="view-all"><a href="#" class="theme-button-one" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myModal">suggest a Speaker</a> <a href="#" class="theme-button-one" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myModalview">VIEW ALL</a> </div> </div> </div>  </div>   </div>  </div>  </div>   <br> <footer class="theme-footer-two" style="position: absolute;
