Biography
- Dr. Mohamed Balli is aiming to understand how to particularly make magnetocaloric materials useful in our daily life such as clean and efficient refrigeration, gas storage, cancer treatment and much more.
- M. Balli received his Master degree in Mechanics of Materials from Montpellier II University and a second Master degree in Magnetism from Joseph Fourier University (Grenoble 1).
- In 2008, he obtained his PhD degree in physics of materials specializing in magnetocaloric materials, from Joseph Fourier University prepared at Néel Institute.
- Between 2008 and 2012, he was Enseignant-Chercheur “Assistant Professor” at the University of Applied Sciences of Western Switzerland, before joining the University of Sherbrooke, Canada, where he works currently as a Scientist in the Quantum Institute.
- He is the member of the Working Party on Magnetic Refrigeration, International Institute of Refrigeration.
- His research work had a great impact on the development of magnetocalorics. One of his patents is currently commercialized and industrialized by ArcelorMittal and Erasteel Companies.
- In 2012, he contributed to the creation of Clean Cooling Systems (CCS), a Swiss company specializing in the development of green technologies for refrigeration applications.
- His research work on magnetocalorics has received numerous awards including:
- Rising Star Researcher (Chercheur étoile) award given by the Research Fund: Nature and Technology, Canada (2014) and the “Research and Innovation Prize 2015” from Sherbrooke University.
