Asmae Khaldoun Ifrane Morocco	Asmae Khaldoun was born and brought up in Morocco, She studied Physics and Chemistry and acquired in 1996 her M. Sc. degree in Renewable Energy from the University Mohamed V in Rabat and then earned PhD in physical chemistry at the University of Abdel Malek Essaadi in Morocco in 2002. She earned a second PhD in Physics “Soft condensed Matter” on January 10th, 2013 at the University of Amsterdam. From 2004 to 2007 she worked, as Post Doc at University of Amsterdam, under the direction of Profs. Daniel Bonn. This group – and particularly its work on complex fluids - is acknowledged to be among the premier experimental chemical engineering research programs worldwide. During the research project she has carried out in Amsterdam, she has studied the rheological behavior of mixtures of wet granular matter and clay. This is an important study, since it has delivered crucial new insight into the physical and chemical processes underlying natural phenomena such as quicksand and land-slides. The most important results of her work were published in Nature in 2005. From 2007 to 2009, she worked as Project Leader at Avantim Technologies in Amsterdam. She worked on several Shell research development projects on high throughput and formulation technology. In September 2009, she started working at Al Akhawayn University as Assistant Professor and got promoted to Associate Professor in 2016. She has taught undergraduate classes such as Physics, Thermodynamics and Material Science and Engineering. On the other hand, she was involved in the creation of the Master Program on Sustainable Energy Management program at AUI. and have taught the graduate class “Conventional Energy” in the said Master Program. She supervised two PhD thesis, and currently has five in progress. She also supervised more than 50 capstone projects and Master thesis.
Abdelfattah Mahmoud Liège, Belgium	Dr. Abdelfattah Mahmoud is the Battery Group Leader at GreenMat Lab of the University of Liège (Belgium). His research concerns i) the development of the battery materials for Alkali-ion batteries, ii) all solid state batteries and iii) recycling of spent Li-ion batteries and PV panels. He is in charge of the analytical platforms of electrochemistry and Mössbauer Spectroscopy. Before joining the University of Liège, Abdelfattah was a Postdoctoral researcher for 2 years at Forschungszentrum Jülich, JCNS-2 (Germany). His research focused on the characterization of electrochemically active materials by nuclear resonance and neutron scattering techniques. He graduated and obtained his Ph.D. in Materials Science in December 2012, from Cadi Ayyad University in Marrakech (Morocco). His Ph.D. focused on the development of three electrode materials (MnSn2, LiCo2/3Ni1/6Mn1/6O2, Li4Ti5O12) for high energy density lithium-ion batteries.

Moulay Tahar Sougrati

Montpellier, France

Gaëtan Lévêque

Lille, France

Dr. Moulay Tahar Sougrati earned his PhD in Material Science from Rouen University, specializing in Mössbauer spectroscopy for Sn-based alloy corrosion. He later had a postdoc at Liège University, focusing on 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy applications. In 2009, he joined CNRS in Montpellier, delving into energy conversion and storage materials, particularly Li-ion battery electrodes and innovative iron-based fuel cell cathode catalysts.
Renowned for his work on new electrode materials, Dr. Sougrati pioneered operando and in situ techniques for reaction mechanism investigation. Notably, he discovered the electrochemical activity of carbodiimides in Li- and Na-ion batteries, contributing significantly to energy storage system understanding. His global collaborations span the EU, USA, China, and Africa. With 215+ papers and four patents,

Gaëtan Lévêque is a professor in the EPHONI group, at IEMN, Lille, France, since september 2010. He received his PhD in 2003 in Université Toulouse III, and was afterwards hired as a postdoc in the group “Nanophotonics and Metrology” of Prof. Olivier Martin, EPFL, Switzerland (2004-2007), and next in the “III-V” group of Brian Corbett, in Tyndall National Institute in Cork, Ireland (2007-2010).
