Mr. Kamal Reddad | Advanced Materials Engineering | Research Excellence Award

Ibn Tofail University Kenitra | Morocco

Kamal Reddad is a doctoral researcher in computational materials science specializing in hydrogen storage materials for sustainable energy applications. He is currently pursuing a PhD at the National School of Applied Sciences (ENSA), Ibn Tofail University, with a strong academic background in physics, holding a master’s degree in matter and radiation and a bachelor’s degree in physics with a focus on energetics. His research centers on magnesium hydride (MgH₂), where he investigates hydrogen desorption mechanisms using density functional theory (DFT), predictive temperature programmed desorption (TPD) modeling, and kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) simulations. His work emphasizes the role of transition-metal doping and vacancy defects in enhancing hydrogen release kinetics, contributing to multiscale frameworks that bridge atomistic insights with macroscopic behavior. He has authored several peer-reviewed journal articles in high-impact Q1 and Q2 journals and actively contributes to the scientific community as a peer reviewer.  In recognition of academic excellence, he received the UM5 Excellence Prize during his master’s studies. Overall, his research aims to advance first-principles-driven materials design for next-generation hydrogen storage technologies and clean energy systems.
