Handbook of Sustainable Industrial Wastewater Treatment

Hind Abdellaoui is currently a research scientist and R&D consultant. She received her PhD in Mechanical Engineering from the National Superior School of Electricity and Mechanics, Hassan II University, Casablanca, Morocco (2015). Her work has been awarded twice: for excellence in Mechanical Engineering at ENSEM and for best thesis at the CMEEE conference in 2015. Since 2016, she has been a professor of Composite Materials, Material Sciences, Mechanics and Structure Analysis at the Engineering School in Rabat, Morocco. In 2020, she joined the University Mohamed VI Polytech as a post-doctoral fellow in the field of Supramolecular Nanomaterials, Composite and Nanocomposite Materials and Nanocellulose Extraction. In addition, she joined the Institute of Nanomaterials and Nanotechnology, Moroccan Foundation for Advanced Science Innovation and Research (MAScIR), Rabat as a scientific collaborator (2014). Her contributions have appeared in over 30 publications as articles, book chapters, and contributed national and international conference papers. Her interest areas include reinforced/filled polymeric composites, lignocellulosic reinforced/filled polymeric composites, nanocomposites as well as manufacturing processes, characterization and prediction of composite behaviour, treatment and surface modification of natural reinforcement, preparation of blend and foam composites, water resource management, and nanocellulose extraction.
