With a clear perspective on achieving academic excellence, he pursues further scientific research and seek better academic positions.
Interested in architecture as well as computer technologies related to architecture, Dr. Ibrahim have based most of his academic research work on the prospect of advancing architecture utilizing today’s computer tools. However, his  master thesis topic was an attempt to understand the relationship between new buildings and older buildings in the same built context which helped shaping his perspective of architecture as a process of complementing elements rather than a mere personal achievement.

His PhD dissertation and recent research work is focused on the use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) as the new paradigm for CAD in architecture. Other papers focused on the implementation of BIM technology in practice and the dilemma it creates in education which have been cited many times in other researchers work.
