Dr. Mohammed Alnahhal holds Bachelor and Master Degrees in Industrial Engineering. He was employed at the Islamic University of Gaza for three years. In 2015, he received his PhD degree from the University Duisburg-Essen in Germany for his thesis on efficient material flow in mixed model assembly lines. For one year subsequent to his PhD graduation he was a logistics consultant in a German company called Müller ‒ Die lila Logistik AG. Then he worked as a research fellow at Deggendorf Institute of Technology for about two years and a half. Currently he is working in the American University of Ras Al Khaimah as an Assistant Professor in the school of industrial Engineering.
His research includes supply chain management especially in-house logistics, Simulation, Operations Research, Genetic Algorithm, Neural Networks, data analysis, and Project Management.
