Biography

Abdelmajid JEMNI, full professor at the Ecole Nationale d'Ingénieurs de Monastir (ENIM) specializing in energy engineering, obtained his engineering degree in energy engineering in 1985, his doctorate from INSA Lyon in 1989, specializing in heat transfer, and his doctorate from the Tunis Faculty of Science in 1997. Prof. Abdelmajid JEMNI joined higher education in 1989 as a teacher-researcher at ENIM. He was a founding member of the Thermal and Energy Systems Studies Laboratory (LESTE) in 1999. He holds and has held the following positions: 

  • Director of the Engineering Sciences and Techniques doctoral school at ENIM since September 2021.
  • Director of LESTE (2009-2021), Presidential prize for the best research laboratory in 2020.
  • Director of ENIM 2005-2011.
  • Director of the Energy Engineering Department at ENIM 2003-2005.

Prof. Abdelmajid JEMNI is the author or co-author of more than 170 publications in leading scientific journals in the field of energy (hindex: 39).

He is a founding member of several associations and is currently President of the Tunisian Energy Association.

He has taken part in the implementation of fifteen national (Federated) and international bilateral research projects (PHC-Utique, CNRS-DGRST, etc.), seven of which were under my responsibility. I am currently coordinating a:

  • PHC-Utique (Multi-scale modelling of heat pipes “CAMMEL”, code 23G1104)
  • Federated research project (Application of green H2 as a renewable energy source for aluminum recycling: Modelling and production of an innovative green H2 burner and development of a digital twin, code PR2I-D2P3).

 

Activities

Current research topics

  • Study and optimization of heat pipe operation: applications in the field of renewable energies (four theses defended and another co-supervision in progress).
  • Numerical and experimental study of the dynamic behavior of metal-hydrogen reactors and optimization of their operation with a view to their application in energy systems (seven theses defended).
  • Development of new materials for energy and study of their thermophysical behavior (five theses defended).
  • Modelling and optimization of photovoltaic/thermal systems (using various techniques based on heat pipes, MCPs, geometric optimization, etc.) (one thesis defended and one in progress).
  • Thermal efficiency of energy systems (one co-supervised thesis and one thesis in progress)
