Biography

Issam Alkorachi is a distinguished teacher-researcher specializing in mechanics and hydraulics, with recognized expertise in numerical simulation. His academic and professional background reflects a dual scientific training, having been educated in France and Morocco.

Academic training and research

Mr. Alkorachi laid the foundation of his solid expertise in France, where he obtained a Diplôme d'Études Approfondies (DEA) in Mechanics at the University of Science and Technology of Lille (USTL) (now University of Lille). This postgraduate, research-focused degree allowed him to acquire in-depth knowledge in modeling and simulating mechanical systems, notably in fluid mechanics.

Continuing his research commitment, he subsequently earned his Doctorate in Mechanical Sciences at Mohammed First University in Oujda, Morocco. His doctoral work focused on modeling complex phenomena, strengthening his command of numerical simulation tools. Additional research, notably at the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts et Métiers in Lille, France, examined the influence of turbulence modeling on numerical simulations of cavitating flows. These studies highlight his major interest in the challenges posed by turbulent flows and hydraulic applications.

Career and current contributions

Currently, Issam Alkorachi is a Teacher-Researcher at Euromed University of Fes (UEMF), an institution recognized for its excellence and Euro-Mediterranean outreach, notably within the Euromed Polytechnic School. In his role, he shares his expertise by teaching fundamental and applied courses in Mechanics and Hydraulics, thereby contributing to the training of future engineers and scientific managers.

His research activities fall within cutting-edge themes, mainly numerical simulation in hydraulics and additive manufacturing. Integrating numerical simulation into the study of hydraulic systems allows him to optimize the performance and durability of infrastructures. At the same time, his interest in additive manufacturing (or 3D printing) demonstrates his desire to explore the synergies between advanced design methods and modern mechanics. Mr. Alkorachi actively participates in the research ecosystem, with several publications and presentations to his name, often on the modeling of turbulent flows. His international profile and dual academic expertise make him a key player in the development of engineering sciences in Morocco and the Euro-Mediterranean region.
