I obtained my bachelor degree in chemistry at the Faculty of sciences in Oujda Morocco. At that time, I was 21 years old and I wanted to continue my studies, so I applied for a master degree in Paris. It was not easy for me since I had to find a financial and moral support.  I was accepted at the University Pierre & Marie Curie in Paris. Accordingly, I moved to Paris and achieved my Master of electrochemistry with honors and completed my PhD thesis in 1992.   Later on, I started my professional career by teaching chemistry at the University of Versailles Saint-Quentin France and Cergy-Pontoise as an associate professor. I decided to return to Morocco with the ambition to contribute to the scientific development of my home country at University of Hassan II- Mohammedia.  In 2006, My University sponsored for the first time my oral presentation in Cairo University where I met a wonderful woman who encouraged me to create a society of analytical chemistry. I have to say that this experience in Cairo was a turning point in my social involvement.  Currently I am a full time Professor in the department of chemistry at the University of Sciences & Technologies in Mohammedia and occupying different positions as President of Moroccan Society of Analytical Chemistry for sustainable development and Vice president of Federation of African Societies of Chemistry.  My research interests include electroanalysis, modified electrode by conducting polymers or by bismuth film for detection of heavy metals or organic compounds. I have already supervised five PhD thesis statements and currently supervising four thesis statements.
