Ismail Benabdallah is a Postdoctoral researcher at the Institute of Applied Physics – UM6P. He holds a MSc degree in Computational Physics and a PhD in materials science from Mohammed V University in Rabat – Morocco (2021). He studied the exfoliation mechanism of 2D materials both experimentally and theoretically by use of classical and quantum methods. His research interests include understanding of formation mechanism of 2D materials by chemical deposition methods as well as studying the effect of defects 2D materials as membranes for water desalination and filtration. He is also actively involved with ongoing research and teaching activities within the institute.

Current Research

Current research focuses on the study of defects in materials for water filtration applications; Mechanism of Vapor deposition of 2D materials.
