BUE Research Bulletin November 2015

Foreword

The BUE Research Bulletin is issued twice annu-ally to inform the BUE community of research and intellectual accomplishments of staff. In this first issue, news about staff activities of interna-tional calibre, newly published books, received funding, and research performance parameters are shown. Information about research centres, events, and collaborations are also included. This wealth of research output is indicative of the quality of BUE staff and their international

standing. I look forward to more productivity, as BUE continues to bring new policies and in-centives to encourage and support research. I am confident that this vibrant research environment at BUE will steadily advance its international ranking.

— Professor Yehia Bahei-El-DinUniversity Vice President for

Research & Postgraduate Studies
