Prof. Dr. Ali Bahloul | IRSST | Canada

Ali Bahloul is an accomplished researcher and academic specializing in fluid dynamics and heat and mass transfer, with a strong focus on applications related to chemical and biological risk prevention, environmental health, and occupational safety. He received advanced training in fluid dynamics and transfer phenomena from leading French institutions, progressing from undergraduate studies in physics and mechanics to a master’s degree, a doctorate, and ultimately the habilitation to supervise research. He is actively affiliated with major research and academic institutions, where he contributes as a regular researcher and as an associate and adjunct professor in engineering and public health–related departments. His work bridges fundamental transport phenomena with applied issues in risk assessment, exposure control, and prevention strategies in complex environments. Ali Bahloul has authored a substantial body of scientific documents published in peer-reviewed journals and conference proceedings, reflecting sustained research productivity and international visibility. His scholarly impact is evidenced by strong bibliometric indicators, with citation counts reaching approximately 2,271 and 913 across major indexing databases, an h-index of 26 and 16, and i10-index values of 54 and 25, respectively. These metrics highlight the influence, consistency, and relevance of his contributions to fluid dynamics, transfer processes, and environmental and occupational health research.
