Dr. Mahmoud Leila is a geoscientist with a robust blend of academic and industrial expertise in petroleum geology and emerging geo-energy resources. He holds a PhD in Petroleum Geoscience from the University of Geneva, Switzerland, and has since led multidisciplinary research and industry-driven projects focused on the exploration of natural hydrogen in diverse geological settings across France, Italy, and Australia. Dr. Leila has also provided expert consultation to companies engaged in natural hydrogen exploration and development. His current research lies at the intersection of basin analysis, reservoir geology, and energy systems evolution, with a strong emphasis on integrating geological, geophysical, and geochemical datasets. This integrative approach aims to unravel the subsurface dynamics governing the generation, migration, and accumulation of strategic geo-energy resources including hydrocarbons, hydrogen, helium, and geothermal fluids. Through his work, Dr. Leila contributes to shaping new exploration models and sustainable pathways for future geo-energy systems.
