Biographie

Issa Ndiaye is an Assistant Professor of Process Engineering and Energy at the Euromed Polytechnic School of the Euromed University of Fes (UEMF). He holds a Ph.D. in Process Engineering from UEMF in 2022 for his research on developing novel membranes for the forward osmosis process.

His research specializes in the synergy between membrane technology, desalination, and advanced energy systems. Dr. Ndiaye possesses extensive expertise in the development and physicochemical characterization of polymer-based membranes, with a specific focus on Thin-Film Composites. His work also centres on the modelling, optimization, and simulation of complex energy processes. To enhance process performance, he leverages a sophisticated digital toolkit that includes Computational Fluid Dynamics for heat and fluid analysis, Machine Learning for predictive modelling, and advanced statistical analysis.

At UEMF, Dr. Ndiaye serves as a lead coordinator for curriculum development, overseeing the design and accreditation of engineering programs in Process Engineering, as well as Sustainable Energy. He provides theoretical and practical instruction in core engineering subjects such as Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics, and Heat and Mass Transfer. Beyond the classroom, he supervises Engineering projects, as well as doctoral research.

Dr. Ndiaye is a recognized expert in his field, serving as a peer reviewer for prestigious international journals including Desalination, Chemical Engineering and Processing - Process Intensification, and Polymer Engineering & Science. Prior to his current role, he held an adjunct professorship at the Dakar American University of Science and Technology (DAUST) in Senegal.

He is open to academic and industrial collaborations focused on water-energy nexus, energy efficiency, and the development of sustainable technologies to address global water scarcity and environmental challenges.
