Before joining AUD in Spring 2016, Dr. ElAgamy gained over five years of experience as a teaching assistant in Canada at the University of Ottawa and Carleton University where she also worked as a Research Assistant. During this time, she also supervised undergraduate students as a health and safety professional in the design laboratories at the University of Ottawa. Her research focuses on carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) manufacturing and processing. She has used advanced micro commuted tomography (microCT) technique to provide quantitative data on the development of progressive damage in composites. The outcome of her research is applicable to support the design of new damage tolerant aircraft structures. Dr. ElAgamy’s Ph.D. research received the Carleton University Development Grant which was awarded for her project entitled: “Development and Validation of a Physical-based Methodology to Predict Progressive Damage Development in Advanced Polymer Composite Materials.” She is a member of the Society for the Advancement of Material and Process Engineering (SAMPE). Dr. ElAgamy is also a licensed Professional Engineer from the regulatory body of the Professional Engineers of Ontario (PEO), Canada.
