Dr. Lokmane Abdelouahed has been an associate professor at INSA Rouen since 2014. He began his academic journey by earning a degree in Chemical Engineering from the Institute of Industrial Chemistry in Constantine in 2008. Pursuing further specialization, he completed a Master's degree in Process Engineering in 2010 at the renowned National School of Chemical Industries (ENSIC) in Nancy, France. His commitment to advancing the field led him to the University of Lorraine, where he earned his Ph.D. in 2013.

Dr. Abdelouahed's current research predominantly focuses on the development of renewable energy technologies, with a special emphasis on harnessing energy from biomass. He is at the forefront of producing second-generation biofuels, utilizing bio-oils derived from the pyrolysis of biomass. Additionally, his innovative work includes the production of hydrogen through biomass gasification, contributing significantly to sustainable energy solutions.

Beyond his contributions to biofuel and hydrogen production, Dr. Abdelouahed is also exploring the potential of biochar. This versatile byproduct of pyrolysis and gasification processes is being investigated for its applications in biomaterials and wastewater treatment, promising advancements in environmental sustainability and waste management. Dr Lokmane Abdelouahed has authored and co-authored over 50 papers in international journals and has an h-index of 18.
