Consortium partners

Associate Partner – Dr. Salma Latique (Morocco)

University Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdellah, Fez

Dr. Salma Latique is an expert in microalgae cultivation, algal biotechnology, and biomass valorization. Her research focuses on the selection, optimization, and cultivation of microalgal strains for environmental and biotechnological applications. Within PHYBIOMED, she will support the consortium in identifying the most suitable microalgal strains for wastewater treatment, nutrient recovery, CO₂ capture, and bio-based product generation. Her expertise will contribute to improving the performance and robustness of the microalgae-based processes developed in the project.

Associate Partner – Dr. Amina Benaissa (Algeria)

University of Skikda

Dr. Amina Benaissa is a specialist in wastewater treatment and environmental process engineering. Her research activities focus particularly on adsorption processes, electrocoagulation technologies, water quality assessment, and environmental impact evaluation.
