Prof. Badis Bendjemil is a Full Professor at the Institute of Metallurgy and Materials Engineering, Badji Mokhtar University, Annaba, Algeria, where he has been active since 1989. His research career began with pioneering work on Joule-effect-initiated volume combustion for powder joining, leading to his Magister degree in Physical Metallurgy. He subsequently introduced combustion synthesis techniques (SHS and electrothermal pressing) at the LEREC Laboratory and successfully synthesized complex carbonitrides and borides, in collaboration with leading European laboratories, including CEMES (Toulouse) and LIMHP (Paris).
Prof. Bendjemil obtained his PhD in Solid State Physics through a joint research program between Badji Mokhtar University and IFW-Dresden, Germany, under a DAAD fellowship. His doctoral research was carried out within the Surface and Interface Spectroscopy Group – Electronic and Optical Properties of Solids.
His expertise includes advanced spectroscopic and microscopic techniques such as XAS, XPS, OAS, PES, ARPES, Raman, and HREELS. He is also highly experienced in computational electronic structure calculations using FPLO (up to version 22), focusing on superconductors, Fermi surfaces, and magnetic properties.
His international collaborations extend to laboratories in Germany, France, Poland, and Italy, covering spark plasma sintering (SPS), hot and cold plasma processes, metallic glasses, nanocomposites, and advanced electroceramics.
His recent research focuses on nanotechnology for drug delivery and cancer therapy, biomaterials for orthopedic applications, and additive manufacturing technologies including 3D printing of architectured materials for advanced engineering applications such as ballistic protection.
Prof. Bendjemil has authored more than 60 peer-reviewed publications and actively participates in international scientific conferences. He also serves as a biomedical expert for ATRSS (Algeria).
