Biography

Research Focus & Affiliations

I am an Associate Professor specialized in Energy Engineering and Applied Fluid Mechanics. Currently, I serve as a Lecturer at the Polytechnic School of Agadir (Universiapolis) and as the Program Coordinator for Energy Engineering and Innovative Systems (GESI) at the National School of Applied Sciences of Agadir (ENSA Agadir, Ibn Zohr University).

My scientific endeavors focus primarily on the numerical simulation of complex thermodynamic systems. Throughout my academic career, I have made significant contributions in the areas of evaporative falling film dynamics, active nanofluid phase heat-sink cooling, dynamic phase change material (PCM) integrations for thermal storage, and optimizing high-yield solar still desalination equipment.
