Published on by Invention Awards

Dr. El Mokhtar El Hafidi | Environmental Science | Best Researcher Award

Dr. El Mokhtar El Hafidi | Chouaïb Doukkali University | Morocco

Dr. El Mokhtar El Hafidi is a Civil Protection Captain and researcher at the Laboratory of Engineering Sciences for Energy (LabSIPE), Chouaïb Doukkali University, El Jadida, Morocco, specializing in renewable energy applications for wastewater recovery, sustainable materials, and environmental risk management. He holds a Ph.D. in Materials Physics and Energy Engineering and has led and contributed to six major research projects focused on renewable energy integration, eco-efficient wastewater treatment, and the valorization of industrial by-products for civil engineering. Dr. El Hafidi has published 18 peer-reviewed scientific papers in indexed journals and delivered 12 oral communications at international conferences, reflecting his active engagement in the scientific community. His research impact is evidenced by 236+ Google Scholar citations and an h-index of 8, supported by collaborations with Moroccan academic institutions and the Jorf Lasfar thermal power plant. He has developed innovative processes using fly ash, metallic slags, and sludge to produce eco-efficient construction materials, advancing circular economy and low-carbon development strategies. His solar-powered desalination and sustainable distillation systems contribute to improving water recovery efficiency in resource-constrained environments. He holds patent filings on wastewater reuse using metallurgical by-products (N°70757–14/02/2025) and their application in marine civil engineering structures. Dr. El Hafidi serves as a reviewer for leading journals including Desalination, MDPI journals, International Journal of Environmental Research, Journal of Water Process Engineering, Sustainable Chemistry – One World, and Water, Air & Soil Pollution. A member of the Moroccan Association of Environmental Engineering, he actively promotes scientific innovation aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, particularly clean water, affordable energy, responsible resource use, and climate adaptation. His work demonstrates a strong link between laboratory research and practical field solutions to support Morocco’s ecological transition and environmental sustainability.
