Dr. Soliman is a Concordia Research Fellow and a Gina Cody Research and Innovation Fellow. He holds the distinction of Gina Cody Research Excellence Tier II. He has research expertise in the areas of characterization and testing construction materials, with a particular emphasis on the performance of green and smart constructional materials, valorizing wastes, and the advent of innovative solutions to mitigate technical limitations to achieve sustainability and adopt circular economy concepts. His research team pioneered self-restraining shrinkage materials, patented oil waste geotechnical filling materials, explored biomaterials for carbon dioxide sequestration, and utilized bacteria to achieve self-healing concrete. Dr. Soliman is an active member of "Centre de recherche sur les infrastructures en béton (CRIB)" and the “Centre for Innovation in Construction and Infrastructure Engineering and Management (CICIEM)”, focusing on tackling sustainable design challenges and the construction and management of concrete infrastructure. He is also an active member of technical and code committees for concrete, including the American Concrete Institute (ACI) Committee 241, 242, and 555.
