Yehia Bahei El-Din

Yehia Bahei El-Din (يحيى بهاء الدين) FAAS is an Egyptian professor of materials Science. He was the Dean of Engineering and, as of December 2022, the Vice-president for Research and Postgraduate Studies at the British University in Egypt.

Education
He obtained his Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from Cairo University in 1972, Master of Science in Solid Mechanics and Composite Materials from Duke University in 1976, and Doctor of Philosophy from Durham University in 1979.

Career and research
El-Din is a professor at British University in Egypt. He was the Dean of Engineering and, as of December 2022, the Vice-president for Research and Postgraduate Studies and the founding director of the Centre for Adavnced Materials at the British University in Egypt. However, he had taught previously in Cairo University, Duke University, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, North Carolina State University and the University of Utah. El-Din's research focuses on solid mechanics of fiber-reinforced composite.

Awards and honours
In 2018, El-Din was elected as a Fellow of African Academy of Sciences. In 2019, El-Din won the “Nile Award” in Advanced Technological Sciences from the Academy of Scientific Research and Technology (ASRT), Egypt.
