Advanced Materials for Sustainable Energy and Engineering

Dr. Mourad Boutahir is a professor at Moulay Ismail University in Morocco, specializing in the development of molecular dynamics and ab initio computational methods. He obtained his Ph.D. in Advanced Materials and Applications from the Faculty of Sciences at Morocco's LEM2A laboratory in 2017. Following this, he conducted a postdoctoral research project under the guidance of Dr. José Mejia Lopez at the Center of Nanotechnology and Advanced Materials Investigation (CIEN-UC) in Chile. His postdoctoral work focused on materials design for highly efficient and reliable hydrogen and energy storage devices. Dr. Boutahir aspires to become a leading scientist in academic research, industry, or non-profit institutions, specifically in the field of solar cells. He has a strong computational background and expertise in solar PV design, aiming to contribute to future advancements in solar cell technology. With over 35 research articles published in reputable SCI(E) journals and more than 200 citations, his scholarly contributions have been widely recognized.Dr. El Mehdi El Khattabi is a founder of the consulting office SOLAR UTION and possesses extensive experience as a professional trainer in energy efficiency, thermal housing, solar pumping, and renewable energy. He has acquired his expertise at national institutions such as the University Al Akhawayn Ifrane, the Ministry of Equipment, and prominent industrial sectors like Saint-Gobain and Strugal. Dr. El Khattabi has also contributed internationally through academic institutions such as the Technical University of Lithuania (VGTU) and the University of Lorraine. His research focuses on monitoring, utilization, and measurement of energy efficiency in real-life building scenarios. He has a particular interest in energy diagnostic processes and innovative techniques for optimizing energy system performance based on specific climatic conditions and local resources. Currently, Dr. El Khattabi serves as a professor at the University Moulay Ismaïl of Meknes, further contributing to academia and advancing sustainable energy practices.
