Pr. Nour SGHAIER-BEN CHIEKH is a Full Professor in Energy Engineering. She obtained her National Engineering Diploma in Energy Engineering (Environmental Option) in 2001 from the National Engineering School of Monastir (ENIM), where she was the class valedictorian. In 2002, she pursued advanced studies in Energy Engineering at ENIM, focusing on drying in capillaries and capillary networks in the presence of solutes, and obtained the Diplôme des Études Approfondies (equivalent to a Master of Science). She then continued her research at both ENIM and the National Polytechnic Institute of Toulouse (INPT), earning a PhD in Energy Engineering in 2006. Her doctoral work focused on drying in porous media saturated with saline solutions. After her PhD, she joined the Higher Institute of Biotechnology of Monastir (ISBM) as a faculty member, where she has held various academic and administrative responsibilities. She obtained her University Habilitation in Energy Engineering in 2017 and was later promoted to Full Professor in 2024. During her research career, she has participated in several research internships at international institutions, including the Toulouse Institute of Fluid Mechanics (IMFT) and other collaborative research centers.

Dr. Mustapha El Ossmani is currently a Professor of Higher Education at the High school of Arts and Crafts-Meknè in Meknès, part of Moulay Ismaïl University, a position he has held since 2009. In June 2014, he obtained his HDR from Moulay Ismaïl University.
Between 2005 and 2009, Dr. Mustapha El Ossmani conducted two postdoctoral research projects. The first two years were spent at the Institut de Radioprotection et de Sûreté Nucléaire (IRSN) in Paris, followed by an additional two years at the Institut National des Sciences Appliquées (INSA) in Toulouse.
In 2005, he earned a PhD in Applied Mathematics under a joint supervision agreement between the University of Pau (France) and the University Hassan II of Mohammedia (Morocco).
Dr. El Ossmani's research interests lie in the mathematical and numerical modeling of multiphase, multicomponent flows in porous media. His work focuses particularly on:
- The modeling of marine intrusion in coastal aquifers,
- The mathematical and numerical simulation of multiphase, multicomponent flows with reactive transport in porous media, with applications to CO₂ geological storage and nuclear waste management,
- Development of numerical methods for simulating flows in heterogeneous porous media and their implementation,
- A posteriori error estimation and mesh adaptation techniques,
- Finite volume and finite element schemes for solving porous media flow problems.

Lamia GUELLOUZ joined ENIT in 1998 as assistant professor in Civil Engineering. She is Head of the Civil Engineering Department at ENIT since August 2024.
She graduated in Civil Engineering from ENIT in 1991. She obtained a DEA in Applied Mechanics from ENIT in 1992 and a PhD in Mechanics in 1995 from Aix-Marseille II University in France.
