Lotfi BELKHIRI was born in 1966 (Constantine, Algeria) and obtained his DSc degree in theoretical chemistry in 2005 under the supervision of Professor Abdou Boucekkine (Rennes 1, France). He is currently full Professor of Theoretical Chemistry at the faculty of Sciences of Mentouri University of Constantine 1 and Head of the Theoretical & Computational Chemistry (TCC) Team within the Laboratory of Mathematics, Physics, and Subatomic LPMS. He is also an associate professor at the Research Center on Pharmaceutical Sciences (CRSP) of Constantine and Supervisor of the In Silico Drug Design Group. His main field of research is the study of the electronic structure and physicochemical properties of heavy metals and f-element-containing organometallic systems using relativistic DFT techniques. His group is also dealing with the bioactivity and biopharmaceutical properties of molecules (potent drugs), study explored by using the Computed Aided Drug Design (CADD) tools i.e., QSAR, Molecular Docking, and ADMET models. Professor Lotfi Belkhiri has been master’s and Doctorate’s training coordinator in Theoretical & Computational Chemistry from 2013-2019 at the UMC and was mentor of several doctoral works, Magisters and Masters In computational organoactinides chemistry and coauthor of 35 international publications and two book chapter and review, as well as a lecturer in scientific conferences. He was a supervisor of two European projects and head of 7 national research projects (CNEPRU-PNR-PRFU) from 2003–2023. He is currently a reviewer for several international journal like Inorganic Chemistry (ACS), J. Molecular Modelling (Springer), and Guest-Editor of Special Issue “Magneto-Structural Correlation” of Magnetochemistry MDPI.
Pr. Lotfi Belkhiri participates actively in various scientific meetings, conferences, chair and Spring School on In Silico Drug Design, and the promotion of the Algerian Theoretical & Computational Chemistry Network.
I am working in the groups of Prof. Niyazi Bulut in the area of theoretical/computational Physical Chemistry of small gas phase molecules. My research involves state-of-the-art electronic structure calculations of potential energy surfaces (PESs) for various atom/molecule complexes that contain radicals. My developed PESs are then used in quantum scattering calculations of relevance in molecular spectroscopy, cold-atom collisions, and astrophysical chemistry.

He has an impressive academic background, and highly motivated with detail- oriented on chemistry, earned B.Sc(Hon’s) (held 2014) and an M.S (held 2016) from University of Chittagong. Subsequently, obtained an MPhil (held 2019) in Organic Chemistry from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology. Now, he is an Assistant Professor at International University of Business Agriculture and Technology (1st private University in Bangladesh) from August, 2023 to continue. Before, he was actively involved in dual roles of educator and researcher in a reputed University about 07 years in European University of Bangladesh, Bangladesh occupying the Lecturer, Senior Lecturer and Assistant Professor, even Assistant Executive at SGS Bangladesh Ltd., a prominent multinational company. Last, he was selected as Editor (Section) Turkish Computational and Theoretical Chemistry, DergiPark, Turkey, Scopus Indexed.
In recognition of his expertise, he was rewarded an Honorary Assistant Professor in Novel Global Community Education Foundation (NGCEF), Australia; and Visiting Scientist, Centre for Nanotechnology, Coppin State University, USA. Next, he was recompensed the Distinguished Adjunct Faculty at Saveetha Institute of Medical and Technical Sciences in Saveetha Medical College and Hospital, Chennai, India. He was honored as mentor for the Bangladesh National Team for 55th International Chemistry Olympiad (IChO), Switzerland (2023), and continue for 56th IChO, Saudi Arab, 2024.
Throughout this journey, he published more 137 peer-reviewed research articles ((h-index=22, i10- index=50, cited about 1500 Google citation), presented 26 abstracts in national and international platform, and secured 06 patents.
He is a sought-after speaker at scientific conferences and conducted five national and international workshops on Computer-Aided Drug Design (CADD). As a Consulting Scientist, he has developed and modified the Agro-based drug formulations for the pharmaceutical industry. Additionally, he is the General Secretary (founder) of Scientific Foundation for Cancer Research, Bangladesh. In his leisure, he enjoys train travel, reading, fishing, and visiting agricultural crops.
Dr. RAFIK Abdellatif was born in Sidi Bennour City, Morocco. He received his Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry of Materials from Ibn Tofail University in Morocco. He has published more than 15 papers in international journals indexed by Scopus. Also, his primary research interests lie in the field of chemistry, with a particular focus on synthesizing chemistry and growing crystals using various techniques. Currently, he is exploring the utilization of quantum chemical methods such as density functional theory (DFT) and HF for the optimization of geometry. My areas of skill are: synthesis and characterization of single crystals; application of hybrid phosphates by biological means; docking molecular; and investigating by dielectric.
