Biography
Abdellah Ajji is a Professor of Chemical Engineering at Ecole Polytechnique of Montreal, Quebec, Canada and Holder of an NSERC-Industry research Chair on Materials and Film for Safe, Smart and Sustainable Packaging (3SPack: http://www.groupes.polymtl.ca/3spack/). He obtained his engineering degree from “École Nationale Supérieure des Industries Chimiques” in Nancy, France and his M.Sc.A and Ph.D in Chemical Engineering from Ecole Polytechnique of Montreal. He is highly involved in research with main interests in correlations between the process, structure and properties for polymer systems in the form of films and fibers, particularly multilayer and functional systems. He published in this area of research and others more than 180 articles in peer reviewed scientific journals, many book chapters, patents and patent applications.
