Dr. Ehab Zalok

Biography

Ehab Zalok is an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Carleton University. He holds a B.Sc. from the Military Technical College, an M.A.Sc. from Ain Shams University, and a Ph.D. from Carleton University. His research focuses on structural fire safety engineering, specifically fire-structure interaction and the performance of reinforced concrete structures under fire conditions. He has conducted extensive experimental work and computer modeling to evaluate the structural aspects of fire safety in buildings and to identify fire hazards. His current research includes developing performance-based designs for fire-structural scenarios, investigating new opportunities to integrate building information models with fire simulation software, and improving the fire endurance of masonry walls. He aims to establish next-generation fire performance standards and optimize masonry manufacturing for fire resistance. Zalok has received funding from organizations such as the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC).
