Hisham Said, Ph.D.
Biography:Hisham Said is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at Santa Clara University. Before joining SCU in January 2012, he was a Post-Doctoral Research Associate in the Division of Construction Engineering and Management (CEM) of the School of Civil Engineering at Purdue University. Dr. Said holds bachelors and masters degrees from Cairo University in Egypt, and a PhD from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. In addition to his academic background, Dr. Said has experience in the building industry both as structural engineer and contract administrator. Dr. Said's research interests include developing decision support and optimization models for construction production management, construction logistics planning, sustainable supply chain management, and sustainable development and resiliency of critical infrastructure systems. Current Research Interests:Dr. Said's research interests are directed to improve the efficiency of construction operations and sustainable development of our built environment. He is developing new decision making and simulation models to optimize the planning and control of construction production processes, construction logistics, green building projects, and sustainable infrastructure development and management.
