Design and Advanced Materials for Energy Applications

Mohsen Mhadhbi obtained his Ph.D. degree from the Faculty of Sciences of Sfax, Tunisia. He is currently Assistant Professor in National Institute of Research and Physicochemical Analysis, Tunisia. His research interests include material engineering, modelling, powder technology, and nanomaterials for mechanical and biomedical applications.
 
Ouassim Ghodbane obtained his Ph.D. from the National Institute for Scientific Research—INRS (Canada) on the topic of electrochemical reduction of nitrate and nitrite ions by copper-palladium electrocatalyzers. His research interests are in the area of nanostructured materials for electrochemical energy storage devices, electrochemical studies of complex interfaces as well as surface modification.

Chaker Bouzidi obtained his Ph.D. from the University of Tunis-ElManar (Tunisia) in 2010 where he studied the optical spectroscopic of Tin oxide layers doped with erbium ions and the analysis of excitation and emission mechanisms. In 2011, he moved to the National Center of Researches in Materials Sciences in Technopark of Borj Cedria (Tunisia). His current work involves applying various processes like sol-gel to fabricate materials and nanomaterials, doped with rare earth ions, applied in optical amplifiers and for the development of color display devices.
