Dr. Nabil Younes is an Assistant Professor of Civil Engineering at Beirut Arab University, specializing in Geotechnical Engineering. He has international academic experience in France, Canada, and Lebanon, having taught at different universities across undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral levels. Before joining Beirut Arab University, he served as an Assistant Professor at the University of Montpellier, France. His academic career combines teaching, scientific research, student supervision, and international research collaborations.

Dr. Younes’ research interests focus on computational geomechanics, soil micromechanics, and the hydro-mechanical behavior of partially saturated granular materials. His work involves numerical modeling at the particle and pore scales, particularly using the Discrete Element Method (DEM), Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM), and coupled LBM–DEM simulations to investigate capillary phenomena, interparticle interactions, and the mechanical behavior of granular soils.

Ph.D. in Civil Engineering (2023) La Rochelle University, France, and University of Calgary, Canada (Joint Ph.D.). Thesis: Micromechanical Study of Capillary Regime Transitions in Partially Saturated Granular Soils. Engineering Degree (Diplôme d’Ingénieur) (2020) Polytech Orléans, University of Orléans, France. Master’s Degree in Mechanics (2020) University of Orléans, France.

Geotechnical Engineering, including Soil Mechanics, Foundation Engineering, Soil and Site Improvement, Engineering Geology, and Geotechnical Site Investigations. Additional teaching areas include Engineering Mechanics (Statics and Structural Mechanics), Building Demolition, and Computer-Aided Design (AutoCAD and Revit). Teaching experience also extends to advanced numerical methods for doctoral students, particularly the Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM).
