Professor Hassan El-Hofy received his BSc in production engineering from Alexandria University (Egypt) in 1976 and served as a teaching assistant in the same department. He then received his MSc in production engineering from Alexandria University in 1979. Professor El-Hofy has had a successful career in education, training, and research. Following his MSc, he worked as an assistant lecturer until October 1980 when he left for Aberdeen University in Scotland and began his PhD work with Professor J. McGeough in hybrid machining processes. He won the Overseas Research Student (ORS) Award during the course of his doctoral degree, which he duly completed in 1985. He then returned to Alexandria University and resumed work as an assistant professor. In 1990, he was promoted to an associate professor. He was on sabbatical as a visiting professor at Al-Fateh University in Tripoli between 1989 and 1994. Professor El-Hofy wrote his first book entitled Advanced Machining Processes: Nontraditional and Hybrid Processes, which was published by McGraw Hill Co in 2005. His second book entitled Fundamentals of Machining Processes—Conventional and Nonconventional Processes appeared in September 2007 and was published by Taylor & Francis Group, CRC Press. He also coauthored a book entitled Machining Technology—Machine Tools and Operations, which was published by Taylor & Francis Group, CRC Press in 2008. In 2011, he released his fourth book entitled Manufacturing Technology—Materials, Processes, and Equipment, which again was published by Taylor & Francis Group, CRC Press. Professor El-Hofy has published over 80 scientific and technical papers and has supervised many graduate students in the area of machining by nontraditional methods. He serves as a consulting editor to many international journals and is a regular participant in international conferences. Between August, 2007, and August 2010 he was the chairman of the Department of Production Engineering, College of Engineering of
