Hazem U. Abdelhady
  • Assistant Professor

Biography

Dr. Abdelhady investigates coastal and nearshore processes in both lake and ocean environments. His research examines shoreline change, coastal erosion, wave dynamics, and the thermal structure of water bodies under the influence of natural hazards, extreme events, and climate variability.

His research integrates physics-based hydrodynamic modeling, remote sensing, and machine learning to better understand how coastal systems evolve and to develop tools that support resilience and adaptation planning for vulnerable communities.

By combining observational data with advanced numerical and AI-driven approaches, his research bridges disciplines to address urgent environmental challenges at the intersection of climate, water, and coasts.
