Chaker El Amrani

Chaker El Amrani received a BS in Physics (1990), and is a European Master in Environmental System Modelling (1992) and Doctor in Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Simulation from the University of Liège (2001). He joined Abdelmalek Essaadi University in 2003. He is Chair of the Computer Engineering Department at the Faculty of Sciences and Techniques of Tangier, Abdelmalek Essaadi University and he is Academia-Industry Interface Coordinator. He lectures Linux system programming, parallel computing and security, and he is promoting High Performance Computing education in the University.He joined in 2001 Thales Information Systems Company based in Brussels, and worked in Belgocontrol as Air Traffic Control Software Engineer.Professor El Amrani is member of several scientific associations and societies and serves on several national and international scientific and organizing committees. He is author and co-author of a number of scientific papers that have been published in scientific journals and conference proceedings.Since 2004, Dr. El Amrani has served as an active volunteer in IEEE Morocco Section, and local officer of IEEE MS at the Faculty of Sciences and Techniques of Tangier. He was IEEE Morocco Section Electronic Communications Coordinator from 2003 until 2008.El Amrani is IEEE Morocco Section Treasurer, member of IEEE Communication & Computer Societies Morocco Chapter, and advisor of the IEEE Computer Society Student Branch Chapter at Abdelmalek Essaadi University.He is member of Computer Science, Systems and Telecommunication Laboratory (LIST), at Abdelmalek Essaadi University. His research interests include high-performance computing, grid and cloud computing, Environmental Information Systems and climate adaptation.Dr. El Amrani’s research has been supported by national and international organisms. He is a Fulbright Visiting Scholar at the High Performance Computing Lab in the George Washington University in 2010, and is since then member of the Fulbright Association.
In terms of climate adaptation, Dr. El Amrani is especially interested in climate forecasting based on WRF and WRF-Chem simulations. and porting of these models to high performance computing platform : Grid Computing and GPU. The porting will enable execution to be performed in less time comparing to local computers or computing clusters. Consequently domain grid may be more refined and complex scenarios could be afforded.
