I am Hesham Morgan, a Ph.D. student in the computational and data science program (CADS) in Schmid College of Science and Technology at Chapman University under the supervision of Professor Hesham El-Askary and Dr. Wenzhao Li and also a researcher at the Earth Systems Science and Data Solutions Lab (ESSDS). I worked as a teaching assistant and researcher specializing in data geoscience, GIS, and machine learning at the Department of Geology, Cairo University from October 2020 to June 2024. I earned my B.Sc. in Geology in 2018 with a GPA of 3.7 and an accumulated grade of Excellent with honors. I have completed my master's studies in 2023, focusing on machine learning and artificial intelligence applications in remote sensing and hydrogeology. My master's thesis resulted in two research articles published in Q1-indexed international journals on Scopus. I was 1st and corresponding author of these two articles. The first article, “Delineating Groundwater Potential Zones in Hyper-Arid Regions Using the Applications of Remote Sensing and GIS Modeling in the Eastern Desert, Egypt” was published in Sustainability (Impact factor: 3.9). Second article, “Using an ensemble machine learning model to delineate groundwater potential zones in desert fringes of East Esna-Idfu area, Nile valley, Upper Egypt” was published in Geoscience Letters (impact factor: 4.4). Furthermore, I presented my master's research as an extended abstract at international conferences, including The International
