Dalia ALLOUSS is a Ph.D. candidate in chemical engineering at the University of Sherbrooke. She obtained her Ph.D. degree in materials chemistry and chemometrics from the Faculty of Sciences and Techniques Mohammedia at Hassan II University of Casablanca, Morocco, in 2022. In 2021, she had the opportunity to intern at the EPFL Valais Wallis campus in Sion, Switzerland, specifically at the LFIM laboratory, as a Visiting Ph.D. student. During this internship, she worked on the synthesis of hydrogel beads using microfluidic picoinjection. Dalia's current research interests encompass biomass valorization, the circular economy, synthesis of materials-based hydrogel beads, and their applications in wastewater treatment.

Prof. Dr. Nicolas Abatzoglou currently serves as a Full Professor at Université de Sherbrooke. He received his B.Sc.A. in Chemical Engineering at the National Technical University of Athens in 1982, and his M.Sc.A. in Chemical Engineering at Université de Sherbrooke in 1986. He completed his Ph.D. at the National Technical University of Athens (Polytechnic School Metsovion) in 1989. His research interests mainly include chemical reactor engineering; pharmaceutical engineering; powder rheology; process analytical technologies (PAT); and heterogeneous catalysis.

Prof. Inès Esma Achouri currently serves as an Associate Professor at Université de Sherbrooke. She received her Bachelor's Degree in Process Engineering in 2008, and her Master's Degree in Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Engineering at Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1France in 2009.
