Mohamad Kanaan

Associate Professor

Mohamad Kanaan received his B.E. in Mechanical Engineering from the Lebanese University in 2003. He received two Master’s degrees, the first in Applied Mathematics from Saint-Joseph University (USJ) in 2008 and the second in Mechanical Engineering from the American University of Beirut (AUB) in 2011. He earned his PhD degree in Mechanical Engineering from AUB in February 2015.

He worked as a part-time lecturer at Global University before being appointed as a full-time assistant professor in the department of Mechanical Engineering at Beirut Arab University in March 2015.
