Dr. Ahmed Sheta serves as a lecturer and course coordinator in Structural Engineering, with a profile at Adelaide University in the School of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering, College of Engineering and Information Technology. He earned his Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering in 2008 and Master of Science in Civil/Structural Engineering in 2014 from Mansoura University, Egypt. In 2022, he completed his Ph.D. in Civil/Structural Engineering at UniSA STEM, University of South Australia. His research focuses on advanced materials and structures, including Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC), fiber reinforced concrete, high-strength concrete, composite structures, steel structures, cold-formed steel structures, timber structures, wind loads, earthquake engineering, composite cold-formed steel members, and structural dynamics.
Sheta's professional career includes his current role as course coordinator and lecturer of Structural Engineering at UniSA STEM since January 2025, alongside being Assistant Professor (on leave) at Mansoura University since February 2023. From 2008 to 2018, he was Assistant Lecturer at Mansoura University, where he taught Structural Engineering courses such as Reinforced Concrete Structures, Design of Steel Structures, Mechanics of Materials, Structural Analysis, Applications of Finite Elements in Civil Engineering, and Design of Concrete Structures for Earthquakes. He has also held casual positions as lecturer, tutor, and online tutor at UniSA STEM and UniSA Online. Notable publications encompass studies on composite cold-formed steel and PE-ECC elements: "Axial compressive behaviour of thin-walled composite columns comprise high-strength cold-formed steel and PE-ECC" (Thin-Walled Structures, 2023), "Shear behaviour of thin-walled composite cold-formed steel/PE-ECC beams" (Steel and Composite Structures, 2023), "Flexural strength of innovative thin-walled composite cold-formed steel/PE-ECC beams" (Engineering Structures, 2022), and "Structural performance of novel thin-walled composite cold-formed steel/PE-ECC beams" (Thin-Walled Structures, 2021).
