Ahmed Naguib Dr. Ahmed Naguib
Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering
Dr. Ahmed Naguib has been an Assistant Professor at Michigan State University since August of 1998. Previously, he worked as a research Assistant Professor and postdoctorate between 1993 - 1998 at the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department at Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago. He earned his B.Sc. at Ain Shams University in Cairo, Egypt in June of 1986. Subsequently, he acquired both his Master and Ph.D. degrees in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering from IIT in Chicago in December of 1989 and 1992, respectively.

Dr. Naguib's research interests include experimental fluid dynamics with emphasis on physics and control of turbulent flows, development of diagnostic techniques, including MEMS for distributed surface stress measurements, and digital signal processing.
