Nasir Abbas Muhammad Ibrahim

Laboratory Engineer II, Department of Petroleum Engineering

Nasir Abbas is a Laboratory Engineer in the Department of Mining Engineering at the College of Petroleum and Geosciences (CPG), King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals. He holds a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Mining Engineering, with research focused on rock mechanics, underground mine stability, and laboratory-based geomechanical testing.
Before joining KFUPM, he gained hands-on experience in establishing and managing mining engineering laboratories, preparing technical specifications for equipment, supervising installation and commissioning, and developing laboratory manuals and training modules.
His professional interests include mining geomechanics, laboratory development, mineral processing, and safety in mining operations. He is also engaged in research collaboration and has contributed to international publications in the field of rock mechanics.
Nasir aims to support the growth of the new Mining Engineering program at CPG by strengthening laboratory capabilities, enhancing student training, and contributing to high-quality research and academic development.
