Dr. Abdel-Rahman got his Bachelor degree from Faculty of Civil Engineering - “Ain-Shams University” – Cairo – EGYPT. Afterwards he went to Germany at “University of Hannover”, where he got a master degree with overall grade “Excellent” in “Geotechnique and Infrastructure Engineering”. His PhD study under the excellent supervision of “Prof. Achim Hettler” at University of Dortmund - Germany was completed in a period less than three years with innovative results related to the “Numerical Investigation of Scale Effect by Earth Pressure Problems”. After getting his Ph.D., he joined the team at Institute for Geotechnical Engineering at “Leibniz University of Hannover” as Senior Lecturer then he was nominated by the head of the department “Prof. Martin Achmus” to be his “Deputy Head”. During his academic career, he published with the team in his department “Institute for Geotechnical Engineering (IGtH) more than 80 publications mainly in the Numerical Modeling of Foundations Systems for Wind Energy Plants (Onshore & Offshore). Different conference publications have been awarded “Best Conference Paper Award” e.g. “K. Abdel-Rahman & M. Achmus „ Behaviour of Monopile and Suction Bucket Foundation Systems for Offshore Wind Energy Plants” in 2006. Last but not least, winning “Outstanding Paper Award” from the international journal “Computers and Geotechnics” for a paper with “Prof. Martin Achmus” et al. “Behaviour of Monopile Foundations under Cyclic Lateral Loading” in 2016.
