Advances in Composite Materials for Medicine and Nanotechnology

Abstract

is an expert/researcher in composite materials & structures. He obtained his engineer's degree from the National Polytechnic School of Algiers (ENPA) in 1985, and then his PhD degree from the University of Surrey (UK) in 1990. He has previously worked as a lecturer/researcher (Maître de Conférences) within the Departments of Aeronautics, Mechanics and Civil Engineering at the University of Blida in Algeria (1990Algeria ( -2000 and as a responsible of design office and quality assurance with composite firms in France (2000)(2001)(2002)(2003). Since 2003 he has been independently involved in sustainability research actions leading to ecodesign of composite materials & structures through the integration of environmental and health aspects into product lifecycle. His research and teaching interests focus on vibration and stability analyses of composite structures subjected to hygrothermomechanical loading using finite-element approach and experimental investigations. He has published many scientific papers and had successfully trained/supervised many engineers and postgraduate students (Masters and PhD).
