Dr. Belal F. Yousif is an Associate Professor at the
University of Southern Queensland, Australia. He also worked previously at the
University of Nottingham as an Associate Professor. Dr. Yousif has experience
in teaching and developing several mechanical courses, which are mainly related to static,
the strength of materials, machine design elements, tribology, engineering
materials, fiber composites, and internal combustion engines. He currently
leads the ‘# MEC1201—Engineering Materials’ and ‘# MEC230—Design of Machine Elements’
teaching courses/programs. As for professional memberships, he is a Guest
Editor for Materials and Design (ranked A), a member of the
editorial board of the International Journal of Surface Engineering and Interdisciplinary
Materials Science [IJSEIMS], and a member of the editorial board of the
International Journal of Precision Technology. Furthermore, his current research
focuses on sustainable systems, design, and tribology, covering the areas of
recyclable fiber polymer composites, waste oil as fuel and/or lubricants, and
innovative system design.
