Adnane Abdelghani
Prof.Dr.Adnane Abdelghani is a Full Professor at the National Institute of Applied Science and Technology (INSAT, Tunisia) working mainly on nanomaterials for the development of embedded microsensors. He obtained the master degrees in "Microelectronic Devices" at the INSA of Lyon (France) in 1994, then a Ph.D thesis from Ecole Centrale of Lyon (France) in 1997. He obtained a post-doc position in Germany between 1997-2000 in the field of biophysics at Munich University. He obtained the Habilitation in Physics in Tunisia (Faculty of Science of Tunis) in 2004 and a Habilitation (worlwide recognition for conducting and leading research) in "Sciences pour l’Ingénieur" in 2009 at the Ecole Normale Supérieur de Cachan (France). He organized International Conferences in Tunisia in the Field of Nanotechnology with the Alexander Von Humboldt Foundation (Germany). He is now the leader and principal investigator of a research group working mainly on gas sensors arrays based on functionalized carbon nanotubes (res. metallic oxides, nanowires, nanoneedles, multiwalled carbon nanotubes, Graphene, polymers, etc..) and on the development of interdigitated gold microelectrodes integrated in microfluidic cell for bacteria (resp: ions, toxins, etc..) analysis in biologic medium. He published more than 100 papers in International Journals and supervised more than 15 Ph.D thesis and 30 masters students. Prof. Abdelghani is part of worldwide renowned scientists as an editorial member of several peer-reviewed scientific journals and coordinator of several international projects. He is deeply involved in industrial applications in his field of research with implications for the design and the development of affordable and cost-effective multiplexing nanosensing devices for diagnostics and theranostics which will have an effective impact in the developing countries. He received the Tunisian President Award of the “Best Scientific Researcher in Tunisia” in 22 July 2015. Pr. A. Abdelghani is a member of the “National Committee of Research Scientific Evaluation Activities “and member of the "scientific committee of the Military Research Center" in Tunisia.
