Welcome to my Home Page
My name is Dr Mohamed AICHOUNI. I am currently an Assistant Professor at Hail College of Technology (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia); From September 1992 to August 2001, I was an Assistant Professor then Associate Professor at the Faculty of Sciences and Engineering, University of Mostaganem (Algeria). From 1988 to 1992 I was a demonstrator at the Aeronautical and Mechanical Engineering Department Laboratories at the University of Salford in the United Kingdom. During my University career I have been the Principal Investigator and Leader of several externally funded research projects. Several PhD and MSc Theses have been discussed under my supervision; I have been an external examiner of more than thirty Master and PhD theses in the area of thermo-fluids engineering. Since 1990, I published more than forty scientific papers in refereed journals and international conferences. I designed and delivered industrial training courses in the areas of Information Technology, Metrology, Quality Control and Quality Systems ISO 9000 .
I received a PhD degree in Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering from the University of Salford, Manchester, Great Britain in 1992 and a Bachelor degree in Marine Engineering (Mechanical Machinery) from the University of Sciences and Technology of Oran (Algeria) in 1987.
Teaching Activity Since 1988, I have been teaching the following courses
At the Graduate level : Mathematics, Numerical Analysis, Applied Statistics, Physics, Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics, Dimensional Metrology, Statistical Quality Control, Turbo-machinery, Renewable Energies, Engineering Drawing, Engineering Projects and Programming languages.
At the Post-Graduate level : Experimental and Computational Fluid Dynamics, Heat and Mass Transfer, Environmental Engineering .
With the recent advents of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), e-Learning concepts have been adopted to develop and deliver my lectures notes and conferences.
My Current research interests include :
Mathematical and Numerical Modeling of Physical Phenomena
Computational and Experimental Fluid Dynamics Techniques and their applications to Industrial Flow Metering Systems
ُDimensional Metrology and Quality Control
Engineering Education Curriculum Development.
Statistical Process Control and Quality in Services and Industry .
Most of my research work has been undertaken within externally funded Research Projects and Doctorate and Master Theses.
