Prof. Dr. Abderrahim Dinane | Chemical Engineering | Best Researcher Award

Laboratory of thermodynamics and energy, Center for energy research | Morocco

Prof. Dr. Abderrahim Dinane is a distinguished Moroccan physicist and thermodynamics expert, currently serving at the Faculty of Sciences Ben M’Sik, Hassan II University, Casablanca. He holds a State Doctorate in Physical Sciences (2000) and a Ph.D. in Thermodynamics (1986) from the Faculty of Sciences, Rabat, in collaboration with the University of Marseille, France. Over his prolific academic career, he has played a pivotal role in developing Morocco’s thermodynamics and energy research ecosystem, establishing multiple laboratories including the Thermodynamics Research Laboratory at FSBM and the Laboratory on Thermodynamics of Aqueous Electrolyte Mixtures at the Faculty of Sciences, Rabat. His scientific work focuses on the thermodynamic properties of aqueous electrolyte mixtures, with applications in phosphate fertilizers, environmental systems, cloud and aerosol physics, and process engineering. Prof. Dinane has authored and co-authored more than 60 peer-reviewed articles in top-tier international journals such as Fluid Phase Equilibria, Journal of Chemical Thermodynamics, Journal of Solution Chemistry, Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research, and Journal of Chemical and Engineering Data. He has reviewed over 100 scientific papers for major international journals and supervised more than 20 Ph.D. theses in fields spanning chemical thermodynamics, physical chemistry, materials science, and renewable energy. His innovative hygrometric method for determining thermodynamic properties of aqueous electrolytes has been widely recognized for its precision and applicability in environmental and industrial processes. As a member of the American Chemical Society (ACS), he actively contributes to international collaborations and has served as a reviewer, conference organizer, and committee member in numerous scientific events worldwide. His leadership roles include heading the Projects and Research Department at ERN and coordinating thermal engineering programs, along with significant contributions to national engineering entrance examinations and faculty recruitment. Prof. Dinane’s contributions have earned him multiple certificates of recognition from international publishers and ranking honors, notably 6th among all researchers at Hassan II University and 26th nationwide across Moroccan universities, according to the COMSTECH (OIC) 2024 ranking. With an h-index of 15 and more than 900 citations, his research continues to influence the global scientific community in thermodynamics, energy systems, and environmental applications.
