I'm a plasma physicist holding a PhD degree on physics and engineering of low-temperature plasmas, delivered by University of Paul Sabatier (Toulouse, France). My experience in the aforesaid field exceeds 10 years and have been performed in (France, Italy and Algeria). During these experiences, I specialized in Particle-In-Cell with Monte-Carlo-Collisions technique for simulating plasmas. I also have a good experience with plasma modeling through fluid approach and hybrid one. My code are mainly written via Fortran and parallelized using OpenMP. I have also some experimental skills such as plasma diagnostics, vacuum techniques and the conception, assembling and testing of plasma sources and plasma reactors.

My research interests focus on ion sources (guns) for space propulsion and surface processing and the production (extraction and acceleration) of electron-free ion-ion beam that consists of oppositely charged ions. Furthermore, I work on sheath formation, electronegative plasmas, plasmas diagnostics, magnetized plasmas, electron transport across a magnetic filter, plasmas for surface processing such magnetron discharge for thin film deposition.
