Gad El-Qady, is a Professor of Applied Geophysics working in the area of application of Geophysical techniques for, but not limited to, Environmental investigations, archaeological, geotechnical, groundwater and geothermal investigations. Currently, Prof. El-Qady is the president of the National Research Institute of Astronomy and Geophysics (NRIAG) since Jan 2019. Before that he was the Vice President of NRIAG)2018-2019), President of the National Institute of Oceanography and Fisheries (NIOF), Egypt. From July 2016 to Jan 2017, he was head of geomagnetic department at NRIAG. While during 2013-2014 he was coordinator of the international relations of E-JUST.
Prof. El-Qady was the science and culture attaché of Egypt in Japan from 2010 to 2013. During 2013 to 2015 he was JSPS visiting professors at Kyushu university, that same group where He got his PhD on 2001. Since that time is an active member of the Egyptian Geophysical community. Prof. El-Qady supervised many post graduate students at different Egyptian universities. Prof. El-Qady, is the managing editor of the journal of National Research Institute of Astronomy and Geophysics (NRIAG) and has published many scientific papers, reviews, in peer reviewed international journals and he participate in several international Conferences and functioning as a referee for international Journals. He also organized several international conferences such as the 20th EMIW, ACAG 5th, ACAG 7th , AFSC2016.
He is also a working group committee member of the Electromagnetic induction in the earth (WMIW) that is now Div No. 6 of the IAGA (2008-2016).
Claudio Margottini (hab. full Professor of Engineering Geology) is the former Scientific and Technological Attaché at the Italian Embassy in Egypt and currently adjunct Professor at UNESCO Chair in the University of Florence (Italy), at Galala University in Egypt and at National Research Institute for Astronomy and Geophysics (NRIAG) in Egypt. He has served at the Geological Survey of Italy (ISPRA) and, as adjunct Professor at Modena (Italy) University and Huazong University (Wuhan, China).
He is trained as an Engineering Geologist (Università la Sapienza, Rome, Italy, 1979, summa cum laudae) and Engineering Seismologist (Imperial College of Science and Technology, London, UK, 1983). Extensively supporting UNESCO and other international organizations all his life long, his major field of expertise embrace the development of engineering geological techniques for the conservation and protection of Cultural and Natural Heritages. With projects in 26 Countries worldwide, during his career he received numerous honours and award in recognition of his services, mainly in less advantages Countries of the world.
He is author of about 330 publications and books.
