University of Sfax, IPEIS | Tunisia
Prof. Dr. Eng. Hatem Ksibi is a Full Professor of Chemical Engineering at the University of Sfax and a Senior Researcher at the Laboratory of Materials Applications in Environment, Water and Energy, University of Gafsa. He holds a PhD in Chemical Engineering from the University of Paris–Sorbonne North and an Advanced Diploma in Energy Conversion from the University Pierre and Marie Curie. His academic and research career spans over two decades, focusing on materials science, process engineering, and environmental technologies. His work emphasizes the valorization of industrial by-products such as phosphogypsum, supercritical fluid extraction, powder technology, crystallization processes, and biogas production through anaerobic digestion. Prof. Ksibi integrates advanced numerical modeling, simulation, image analysis, and machine learning techniques in engineering problem-solving and education. He has authored numerous scientific publications, supervised several doctoral theses, and contributed extensively to interdisciplinary research linking theory, experimentation, and sustainable industrial practice. With an h-index of 10, over 305 citations, and more than 39 documents indexed in major scientific databases, he actively reviews for international journals and participates in national and international scientific committees. His research advances sustainable engineering solutions and promotes digital transformation in industrial and environmental systems.
