Ahmed Soliman

Dr. Soliman joined the Department of Building, Civil, and Environmental Engineering at Concordia University as an Assistant Professor in 2016. He obtained his Ph.D. degree from Western University, Canada (2011), followed by four years as Postdoctoral Fellow, during this period he was involved in a multi-disciplinary research focusing on the innovation of new construction materials using industrial wastes. He pioneered self-accelerated reactive concrete and self-restraining shrinkage materials. In 2018, Dr. Soliman and his partners had a Canadian Patent on converting Oil Sands Waste to green construction materials for Geotechnical applications. Dr. Soliman is also a member in ACI committee 231, ACI committee 236, ACI committee 555. He has published over 45 articles in top international journals and has given many oral and poster presentations at international conferences.
