Person
Dr. Yacine Rezgui is professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Oum El Bouaghi University where he has been since 1999. From 2000 to 2018, he trained in French laboratories, including the Laboratory of Combustion and Chemical Kinetics (University of Sciences and Technology of Lille), Laboratory of Physico-Chemistry of Combustion Processes and environment (University of Sciences and Technology of Lille), the Institute of Combustion, Aerothermal reactivity and Environment (ICARE) (University of Orleans), and the Laboratory of Reactions and Chemical Engineering (LRGP) (University of Lorraine Nancy).
In 2013, Dr. Rezgui won the prize of the 2013 Algerian Paper of the Year Award in the category of Chemical Sciences from the Algerian Network for Academics, Scientists and Researchers. In 2016, he was a fulbrighter at Princeton University (USA) in the laboratory : Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering.
