Biography

Abdallah Sofiane Berrouk was awarded a PhD degree from The University of Manchester (UK) in the area of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and turbulence modeling with particular emphasis on Large Eddy Simulation of turbulent multiphase flows. He holds several master degrees: Master of Engineering in Energetics, Master of Research in Solid Mechanics and Master of Science in Oil and Gas Management. He has eight years of university lecturing experience; six of them are postdoctoral. He taught different courses in different departments both at the undergraduate and graduate levels. He has supervised four Masters students and two Post-Doctoral Fellows. His domain of expertise covered: Computational Fluid Dynamics, Large Eddy Simulation, stochastic Modeling for Particle-laden Turbulent Flows, and Computational Flow Modeling for Chemical Reactor Engineering. He recently developed expertise towards sour gas sweetening, heavy oil processing and waste plastic gasification technologies. He is the leader of three industrial projects and co-principal investigator of other three industrial projects. During his academic career, He has published two books, three book chapters and more than 70 papers on his ongoing research work in peer-reviewed international journals, industrial magazines, and conference proceedings. He is recipient of many awards: Algerian Government Award (2001), Worldwide University Network Award (2005), Manchester Science Enterprise (2006), ADNOC R&D Bright Finding & Integration Research Pen Award for outstanding deliverables researchers (2013), and ADNOC R&D General Management Committee Award for outstanding technical support (2013). Dr Berrouk is a reviewer for different scientific journals and editorial board member for the American Journal of Fluid Dynamics.
