Short Bio

Lamyaa El-Gabry received her PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York. She was appointed Assistant Professor at the American University in Cairo in 2006 and tenured and promoted to Associate Professor in 2012. Prior to her academic appointment, she held various engineering and research roles at General Electric. Her work included gas turbine blade cooling design, combustion controls, experimental heat transfer, generator ventilation design and project engineering, and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and heat transfer methods development for energy and propulsion.
Prof. El-Gabry is the recipient of five NASA Glenn Faculty Fellowships, the Air Force Faculty Fellowship, and KTH Royal Institute of Technology fellowship where she served as Affiliated Senior Faculty for several years. She is currently a Visiting Research Fellow / Senior Principal Engineer at Solar Turbines in San Diego.
Prof. El-Gabry teaches courses in fluid mechanics and thermodynamics and supervises student research in various areas of mechanical engineering.
