Amir Ismail received a B.Sc. (2007) in geophysics and seismology from Helwan University, Egypt. His M.Sc. (2014) and PhD (2020) from Helwan University in Egypt focused on seismic data processing, seismic stratigraphy, seismic attributes, rock physics, seismic inversion, and machine learning techniques. He was a member of the research team at Università di Napoli Federico II, Department of Physics "Ettore Pancini," Italy, for two years (joint PhD supervision 2018–2020). He was awarded a research fellowship for six months (2021–2022), from which he was involved in seismic imaging of the Solfatara crater (Campi Flegrei caldera, southern Italy) project to detect evidence of the fluid's migration pathways in the shallow structures. He recently received a Fulbright scholarship and works in the Geophysics Lab, Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi. He is still affiliated with Helwan University, Egypt, as a geophysics lecturer. He won the research excellence award for PhD students (2020–2021) and the best scholar prize (2022–2023) at Helwan University, Egypt. In addition, he was the faculty advisor of the IBA teams that hold second place in the Africa region in the Imperial Barrel Award Program (2017 and 2024).
