Mrs Souad El Hajjaji is currently Professor of material, water & Environmental Sciences at the University Mohammed V in Rabat. Prof. Souad El Hajjaji carried out her international academic and research career in universities in France, Germany, and Morocco. In 2017, she was nominated as a Director of the research center on water, natural resource, environment, and sustainable development (CERNE2D) at the University Mohammed and whose main mission is to strengthen the relationship between the research community and socio-economic sector and to develop research related to water sciences. El Hajjaji souad research is devoted to the development of new processes for wastewater treatments (adsorption, photodegradation, electrochemistry….), solid waste valorisation, monitoring of pesticides and emergent pollutants in water and soil (POPs), the management of water resources, reuse of treated wastewater in agriculture and the impact studies of waste on the quality of water resources. She has coordinated several research projects at different levels: i) National ii) bilateral cooperation with different countries (Germany, Spain, France, Sweden, Jordan, Tunisia, Egypt, Algeria, etc.) and iii) European Projects (ERANETHMED). She recently focused her research on sustainable integrated water resources development under climate change constraint. Within the research projects, she supervised more than 30 PhD theses. Has published more than 150 peer-reviewed scientific papers and book chapters: spoken also at national, international conferences and workshops as lecturer. She was also a member of the scientific committee of several international conferences and has chaired and organised several international events. She is an associate member of EXCEED -Swindon network. Member of different associations involved in the environment. In 2019, she was nominated as a president of the scientific committee of COALMA. In 2021, she was nominated as vice dean of scientific research and cooperation at the faculty of sciences in Rabat.

Mouad Dahbi, is an Associate Professor in Materials Science, Energy and Nanoengineering (MSN) Department at Mohammed VI Polytechnic University since September 2017 and Editor in Scientific African Journal. Received Maitrise degree in chemical process from Tangier Faculty Science and Technique, Morocco. Graduated top of the class from The University of Lille. He earned Ph.D. in Chemistry and Electrochemistry from the University of Tours, France where his doctoral work was focused on the high-power asymmetric lithium-ion capacitor in nonaqueous electrolytes. He was then a postdoctoral researcher at Tokyo University of Science, Japan from 2013 to 2015. In 2015, Dahbi was promoted to Assistant Professor at Tokyo University of Science and a Project Assistant Professor at Kyoto University, Japan. His work was focused on developing materials for negative electrodes and electrolytes for lithium-, sodium- and potassium-ion batteries, synthesis and characterisation of materials and electrochemical evaluation of synthesized materials with due correlation. His current research focuses on developing high-energy density electrode materials system for efficient energy storage technology and low-cost batteries based on the abundant elements in Earth’s Crust. Professor Dahbi has authored/co-authored over 44 Peer Reviewed Articles, awarded two times best poster prize from International Society of Electrochemistry. He is also an external expert in French National Research Agency and peer reviewer of many journals.

PhD in Physiology, Pharmacology, and environmental health. Interested in natural products and their implication in human health following a multidisciplinary approach. Several peer-reviewed articles have been published: characterization and health assessment of natural products using conventional methods, and contribution to the new technologies such as the e-tongues and bioelectronic tools. Long-term focus is contributing to developing evidence-based research in the world of natural products. Youssef Elamine is currently spending a short postdoctoral stay at the Institute of fats, belonging to the Spanish National Research Council.
