Sherif Morad Abdelmohsen is a professor of digital media and design computing in the Department of Architecture. He is also the director of the Robotic Fabrication Laboratory and co-founder of the Educational Virtual Environment Laboratory. He serves as vice president of the Arab Society for Computation in Architecture, Art and Design. He first joined The American University in Cairo as a full-time assistant professor in the Department of Construction and Architectural Engineering in 2014, was promoted to associate professor in 2017, and was then tenured and promoted to professor in the Department of Architecture in 2023.

Abdelmohsen's teaching responsibilities include developing the computer-aided architectural design curriculum, teaching courses related to parametric design, digital fabrication and virtual reality, and leading and coordinating the Tectonics and Computational Design stream and its senior-level architectural design studios with other colleagues in the department.

Abdelmohsen received his PhD in architecture from Georgia Institute of Technology, USA in 2011, and participated in design computing research and teaching at both Carnegie Mellon University and Georgia Tech. He received his MSc and BSc in architectural engineering from Ain Shams University in 2004 and 2000, respectively.

Abdelmohsen has around 90 articles and book chapters published in international peer-reviewed conferences and journals. He participated as PI, co-PI and team member in several funded research projects, amounting to a total of over $600,000.His recent research involves several topics, including the development of low-cost soft adaptive façade systems using hygroscopic properties of wood, automated post-occupancy space management using BIM and GIS, the design and fabrication of complex facades using robotic depositing and multi-point forming, and the design, fabrication and robotic assembly of thermally responsive parametric brick wall configurations. He has also supervised and examined more than 30 MSc and PhD students working in the area of computer-aided architectural design.

At the professional level, Abdelmohsen has participated in award-winning international competitions and in designing architectural projects in the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Italy, Germany and Egypt. He is co-founder and managing partner at UDAAR Engineering Consultancy and IT Solutions, an international company specialized in architecture, computational design research and smart building management solutions. He is also recipient of the Emerald Literati Award in 2022, honorary recipient of the Knowledge Application and Notion for Society scientific competition in 2018, and recipient of the Faculty Award of Merit for Best Doctoral Presentation in 2012, Young Active Researcher Award for outstanding research activity in 2013, and the ARCC/KING Medal for Excellence in Architectural and Environmental Design Research (2009).
