Prof. Hamid Berriche
Department Chair Professor - Physics
Professor Hamid Berriche has a PhD in Quantum Physics from the Paul Sabatier University in Toulouse – France. He has also got the Habilitation degree (equivalent to the German or French Habilitation) from the University of Monastir in Tunisia. He was a research fellow at the Emerson Centre for Scientific Computing at Emory University (Atlanta, USA). He is working on several research subjects dealing with different molecular physics problems such as formation prediction of ultra-cold alkali ionic and neutral diatomic molecules, atom-molecule collision for interstellar interest, alkali-rare gas van der Waals excimers used in high power laser development, and neutral and ionic alkali-rare gas clusters. Prof. Berriche has supervised many PhD and Master Students from King Khalid University in Saudi Arabia and the University of Monastir. He has contributed in curriculum development of undergraduate and graduate programs. He has published about 60 articles in peer-reviewed journals and several book chapters. He was an invited speaker and chairman in several international conferences. Prof. Berriche managed and coordinated many research projects that are funded by universities and agencies such as KACST (King Abdel Aziz City of Sciences and Technology) and the European Office of Aerospace Research & Development (EOARD) which is a detachment of AFOSR (AF Office of Scientific Research).
