Ghada Ellithy, PhD, PE, has about 20 years of professional and academic experience in the field of civil engineering with an emphasis on geotechnical engineering. She received her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Civil Engineering from Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt, with an emphasis on Geotechnical Engineering. She received her Ph.D. degree from West Virginia University, focusing her research on Geosynthetic Interfaces. Ms. Ellithy joined the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ (USACE) Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC), Vicksburg, Mississippi, in 2014. Since then she has been a primary investigator on projects related to dam and levee safety with a focus on transient seepage and overtopping erosion of dams and levees. Prior to joining ERDC, Ms. Ellithy worked as a project manager and lead design engineer with the USACE Seattle District, and with geotechnical consultants on various geotechnical and research and development projects in Seattle, Columbus and Baltimore. She is also an adjunct professor at Mississippi State University. Her research and design experience in the areas of dams and levees, highway structures and geosynthetics development includes: numerical modeling, transient seepage analysis, stability analysis, seismic site response, field instrumentation and laboratory testing on unsaturated soils, design and dynamic response of deep foundations and anchoring systems, gas and liquid transmissivity of soils and geosynthetics for geo-environmental systems, mechanically stabilized walls and stabilized pavement sections. Ms. Ellithy is a licensed professional engineer in Washington and Maryland.
