Biography
Dr Fadlallah is currently a senior lecturer in Engineering (Mechanical) at the School of Computing and Engineering, University of Huddersfield, UK. He received his Bachelor of Engineering degree in Mechatronics Engineering and Master of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from Sultan Qaboos University, Oman and PhD degree in Mechanical Engineering from Auckland University of Technology, New Zealand.
Prior to joining the University of Huddersfield, Dr Fadlallah worked as an Industrial Mechanical Engineer at MORKS REID, where he helped organizations develop mechanical-based solutions and feasibility assessments for Renewable Energy systems. Dr Fadlallah has also taught at the Auckland University of Technology, New Zealand, where his work included courses in Mechanical Design, Product Development, and Engineering Investigative Studies.
As a researcher, he has also worked for Sultan Qaboos University in Oman as well as the Lincoln University in New Zealand on a number of Bio-Mechanics and Environmental compliance assessments projects.
He has authored and co-authored over twenty four journal articles in top journals, a book chapter and eight conference proceedings. His current research interests include Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) systems, Fluid-Structure Interaction, Computational Fluid Dynamics, Composite Materials, and Engineering Mechanics and Design applications.
