He is a dedicated and methodical academic professional with over ten years of teaching experience in logistics, supply chain management, project management, and research methods.
Dr Mahmoud joined BSBI in December 2023. Before his current role in Berlin, he built a progressive academic career in Egypt, beginning as a Teaching Assistant at the Egyptian National Institute of Transport (ENIT) in 2011. He subsequently advanced to the positions of Lecturer Assistant and then Lecturer. He also served as a Lecturer at MTI University in Cairo. This diverse experience has provided him with a strong foundation in curriculum design, pedagogical practice, and academic administration.
Dr Mahmoud holds a PhD in Logistics and Supply Chain Management from Sunchon National University in South Korea, a Master’s degree in Management of International Trade Logistics, and a Bachelor’s degree in International Transport and Logistics—both from the Arab Academy for Science, Technology, and Maritime Transport in Cairo, Egypt.
His expertise lies in the practical and theoretical aspects of global logistics and data-driven decision-making. He is an accomplished educator with a proven ability to design engaging curricula and facilitate thought-provoking discussions that encourage critical thinking. His teaching portfolio includes modules such as Supply Chain Management, Logistics and Project Support, Managing Agile Projects, Supply Chain Sustainability and Resilience, and Project Risk Appraisal. He delivers these modules across several BSBI partner institutions, including the University of Roehampton (UK), UNINETTUNO (Italy), and the University for the Creative Arts (UK).
As an active researcher, Dr Mahmoud focuses on key issues in modern transport and logistics. His published work explores topics such as last-mile logistics in e-commerce, the competitiveness of container ports, and the application of analytical models such as Fuzzy-AHP to maritime logistics. His research has earned recognition through several “Best Paper” and “Best Presentation” awards for his studies on container port selection in Egypt and the Suez Canal’s role as a logistics and industrial hub.
In addition to his academic roles, Dr Mahmoud has contributed to several high-level research and consultancy projects, including feasibility studies for transport infrastructure, analyses of road accident mitigation, and the development of strategic plans for Egypt’s transport sector.
