Professor Abdelouhab ZEROUAL Professor Abdelouhab ZEROUAL is a teacher-researcher at Cadi Ayyad University, Marrakesh Morocco, where he works as a professor, specializing in transversal skills for technical training. He received his post-graduate doctorate in 1988, specializing in Modelling of solar energy systems. Subsequently, he obtained the State Doctorate degree (PhD) in 1995 in Solar Energy Instrumentation at Cadi Ayyad University. He has a very eclectic background and an ever-living curiosity that has allowed him to acquire and master multiple skills and various techniques in the field of electrical engineering. Its area of qualification for training is mainly the engineering of electrical and computer systems, electronics and sensor instrumentation and modelling of physical processes using artificial intelligence techniques. He was head of the TSICP research team at the Electronics and Instrumentation Laboratory (LEI) from 2005 to 2010 and currently director of the “I2SP instrumentation, signals and physical systems” research team since 2010. He has carried out numerous research stays at the abroad, mainly in the United Kingdom, Italy, France, Portugal, and Malta. Until 2022, he has produced 119 publications (author and co-author) in international journals, 185 communications and 7 chapters of scientific works published by international publishing houses. He has supervised several PhD and HDR theses projects (15 defended, 12 in progress). His research mainly focuses on the identification and modelling of non-linear systems, artificial intelligence and the design and production of antennas for mobile communication systems. He has been an expert evaluator in more than 61 thesis and HDR juries (16: examiner, 13: president, 31: rapporteur) and referred to in several international journals. He was also a member of 2 European research projects (1 Tempus project, and an ERRASMUS project) with 13 universities involved. In parallel with his teaching and research activities, he was involved in the organization of 7 international scientific conferences and two thematic schools in the field of electrical engineering. Given his experience, he was also asked to participate in more than 30 recruitment committees for teacher-researchers in different universities. He has held various administrative and management responsibilities, in particular head of the physics department 2010-2012, faculty council member several times and university council member 2018-2021. He was a member of several working committees within the Semlalia Faculty of Sciences and at Cadi Ayyad University. For more information see the CV (Click here)
