Geology, University of Alexandria, Egypt, 1983. M.S. Geology, Stanford University, 1987. Ph.D. Geology, Stanford University, 1991. Teaching Interests: Igneous and Metamorphic Petrology, Geochemistry, Mineralogy, Geology of Earth Resources, Tectonics, Introductory Geology Research Interests: Tectonometamorphic evolution of orogenic belts and continental margins, and reconstructing the P-T-time history of metamorphic rocks. These studies involve field mapping, mineral analysis, application of geothermobarometers, phase equilibria, and a variety of geochronological techniques to metamorphic rocks to develop a tectonic model for the area studied. Fluid - rock interaction, with special emphasis on the role of fluids in metamorphism and ore genesis (particularly in subduction zone settings). Retrieval and assessment of the thermodynamic data of minerals, construction of petrogenetic grids. Current Research Projects: Granulite facies metamorphism and partial melting in the Central Blue Ridge Province, Southern Appalachians Origin of Banded Iron Ores, Central eastern Desert of Egypt.
