Professor Abdulmajeed Mohamad is a faculty member at the Schulich School of Engineering, University of Calgary, Canada. He graduated from Baghdad University with a B.Sc. (Hons) and M.Sc. in 1976 and 1978, respectively and subsequently worked as a lecturer at Mosul University until 1985. In 1992, he received his Ph.D. degree from Purdue University, where he was mentored by Professor Raymond Viskanta. Here, he learned the importance of freedom as a fundamental concept of curiosity, which eventually blossoms into new ideas. This lesson was, and still is, evident in his professional work.



In 1993, he became an Assistant Professor at Eastern Mediterranean University, North Cyprus. In September 1999 Professor Mohamad and his family immigrated to Canada, and in 2000 he joined the faculty of the University of Calgary and eventually became a tenured faculty member.

Throughout his career, Professor Mohamad has also participated extensively in professional activities, such as organizing national and international conferences. He is the founder of the International Conference on Computational Heat, Mass and Momentum Transfer, and of the International Conference on Applications of Porous Media.





While on leave from the University of Calgary during the period 2010-2012, he served as the acting Dean of Engineering at Alfaisal University (AU), Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and was instrumental in establishing the university's Engineering School.



Professor Mohamad is a Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and an Executive Member of the Scientific Council for the International Centre for Heat and Mass Transfer (ICHMT).

His contributions on the fundamentals of heat transfer, computational methods of incompressible flow, transport and combustion in porous media are well recognized by his peers. Professor Mohamad has authored over 250 papers, mainly in peer-reviewed journals, as well as a popular
