Mounir Mabsout
Director
Mounir Mabsout has served as the director of the Center since March 2008. He is also a professor of Civil Engineering (CE) at AUB, which he joined in 1991. He received a PhD in Civil Engineering in 1991 from the University of Texas at Austin. He has a Master of Science (1987) from the University of Houston, and a Bachelor of Engineering (1981) from AUB.
As a faculty member, he worked to engage students and faculty in community service and development, and he initiated, with the Civil Engineering Society (CES), the first summer volunteering camp in June 2006, which has since become a yearly activity. He was further involved as a member and then chair of the Task Force for Reconstruction and Community Service (TFRCS) which the president of AUB established during the July 2006 war on Lebanon to look into the university's strategies in trying to relieve human suffering and the effects of the war. The aim of the TFRCS evolved to encompass community service and development as a strategic goal for the university.
Mabsout has been a full-time faculty member at AUB for 18 years in the rank of Professor (since 2003) at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE), which he chaired between 2003 and 2006.

In addition to his academic career that entails publishing refereed research papers in international journals and coauthoring a book on highway bridges, he has an extensive professional experience as a civil and structural engineering consultant.
