Redhouane Henda is a Professor of Chemical Engineering at the Bharti School of Engineering/Laurentian University. He received both MSc and PhD degrees from the Institut National Polytechnique de Toulouse (France), and spent a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Heidelberg (Germany).
Dr. Henda has contributed many articles to professional journals and books and developed computer modules for research and education purposes. His research interests focus on nano-science/-technology of thin films for energy and the environment, and on process systems engineering of complex physical/chemical systems. Dr. Henda is a recipient of many fellowships and scholarships including the French Ministry Higher Education, the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation (Germany), and the Research Council of Norway. He is a member of numerous professional societies such as the Materials Research Society (USA), Canadian Society of Chemical Engineering, Sigma Xi (USA), American Institute of Chemical Engineers, and the American Vacuum Science & Technology Society. He has served on many journal editorial boards and conference sessions, and has reviewed for numerous professional journals and funding agencies. He has spent academic leaves at Lund Univ. (Sweden), Sintef/NTNU (Norway) and UAE Univ. (UAE). Dr. Henda is a licensed professional engineer of Ontario (Canada).

*Nanoscience/technology as it applies to the fabrication and characterization of thin films for energy intensive applications. Materials systems of interest include metal-sulphides, -oxides, -carbides, and polymers. Pulsed power is used to deposit nano-engineered materials. The emphasis is on processing-structure-property relationships.
*Process engineering aspects as they relate to modeling and computer simulation of chemical and physical systems based on first principles. Various numerical and analytical methods are used to solve technologically important processes. Examples include materials processing units and thin film deposition systems.
