Moustafa Naiem
NSERC Associate, Western University | Sessional Faculty, McMaster University
Moustafa has a background in civil and structural engineering with a specialization in climate adaptation, infrastructure resilience, and digital technologies. His research focuses on the development of AI-powered digital twin platforms that integrate physics-based models and data-driven methods to assess climate risks in real time. Specifically working on software that predicts the financial and operational impacts of extreme weather events such as floods and heatwaves on infrastructure systems. This research combines climate modeling, risk analytics, and resilience assessment to generate actionable insights for asset owners, policymakers, and financial institutions. The overarching aim of this work is to bridge the gap between engineering science and decision-making by providing reliable, scalable, and cost-effective tools that reduce climate-related losses and guide investment in adaptation measures.
