Background

Nebil led the international development of the WHO Underground shelters and services in hospitals and contributed to the development of the PAHO/WHO Resilient Hospitals: An inter-regional guidance on strengthening resilience to health emergencies and disasters in health facilities.

He also took part in global discussions and trainings and technical reports. He led and contributed to over 20 WHO projects in more than 10 countries, and published over 70 scientific publications in journals, conferences, reports and book chapters. He was awarded the Best Paper Award during the CIB World Congress 2010, and the Highly Commended Paper in the 2016 and 2015 Emerald Literati Network Awards for Excellence. He was 2022 Frontiers Champion of the Royal Academy of Engineering (RAEng) and lead of the Fostering Innovative Resilience Healthcare Service (FIReS) international Network.

Nebil chaired and co-chaired several international conferences and webinars and served as External Examiner in several national and international universities. He has been a member of three international journal Editorial Boards, reviewer for more than 20 international journals, and Guest Editor of two Special Issues of the International Journal of Disaster Resilience in the Built Environment.

Nebil leads ARU's MSc Healthcare Management, a programme with over 200 students. His background is in engineering, and he received his first degree from the Tunis Advanced School of Science and Technology, Tunisia,

Following this, Nebil worked in private engineering and design firms, designing structures and training engineers in several countries. Granted a Japanese Government Scholarship to further his education, he gained his MSc with a focus on the response of hospital lifeline systems following seismic activities, and his PhD on hospitals' fragility assessment, in 2004 and 2007 respectively, from Kanazawa University. He was subsequently employed as a Post-doctoral Researcher there.

Nebil joined Loughborough University in September 2007 as a Research Associate. He coordinated the research activities of the £11million HaCIRIC research centre, and the CPM WBDL MSc Programme.

Nebil is actively involved in national and international research and consultancy activities and interested in exchanging knowledge with academics and practitioners, specifically those working on similar topics.
