Fouad Maliki is a researcher affiliated with ESSA-Tlemcen, Algeria, working in the field of engineering. His research addresses scheduling, facility layout optimization and optimization methods for industrial systems. He is nominated for the Best Academic Researcher Award at the International Academic Achievements & Awards in recognition of his recent publication record [1][2].

Abstract

This article presents the research profile of Fouad Maliki, an engineering researcher at ESSA-Tlemcen, in connection with the Best Academic Researcher Award. His recent work applies exact, heuristic and metaheuristic methods to industrial optimization problems, including multi-row facility layout [1], flow-shop scheduling under transportation constraints and uncertainty [2], and the use of large language models for combinatorial optimization [4].

Keywords

Facility layout optimization, flow-shop scheduling, genetic algorithms, NSGA-II, mixed-integer linear programming, combinatorial optimization, Petri nets, industrial engineering.

Introduction

Optimization of production systems is a central topic in industrial and manufacturing engineering, since decisions on layout, scheduling and monitoring directly affect cost, efficiency and working conditions. Fouad Maliki’s publications address these decisions through mathematical programming and metaheuristic search. His Scopus author record lists 31 indexed documents [5], and his recent outputs include journal articles, a conference paper and collaborative studies with several co-authors.

Research Profile

Maliki is affiliated with ESSA-Tlemcen in Algeria, and his subject area is engineering. His Scopus Author ID is 54380348300. The Scopus profile reports 31 documents, 123 citations and an h-index of 4 [5]. His work is organized around three main themes:

  • Facility layout optimization in manufacturing environments
  • Production scheduling under constraints and uncertainty
  • Optimization methods and discrete event systems modeling

Research Contributions

In facility layout research, Maliki and co-authors proposed a framework combining mixed-integer linear programming with a genetic algorithm for multi-row layouts under spatial and cost constraints [1]. A related study used the NSGA-II algorithm to balance noise exposure and space utilization, introducing a human-centric perspective into layout design.

In scheduling, he co-authored a study of the permutation flow-shop problem under transportation constraints and uncertainty [2]. He has also contributed to work on minimal sensor selection and placement for causal observability in partially observed Petri nets [3], and to a conference paper evaluating large language models on combinatorial optimization problems [4].

His work covers numerical modeling, membrane filtration, renewable energy systems and chemical process simulation. He is nominated for the Best Research Article Award at the International Academic Achievements & Awards event in recognition of recent peer-reviewed contributions in these areas.[1]

Abstract

This article presents an academic profile of Armin Hasanpour, an engineering researcher at Shahrood University of Technology, in connection with the Best Research Article Award. His recent publications address fouling in graphene oxide-modified ultrafiltration membranes, hail impact on photovoltaic panels, hydrogen production from biogas and sediment formation in distillation towers. Together they show a consistent reliance on modeling, simulation and experimental evaluation to examine practical engineering problems.[2][3]

Keywords

Numerical modeling, computational fluid dynamics, ultrafiltration membranes, photovoltaic panels, hail impact, biogas reforming, pinch analysis, process simulation, engineering.

Introduction

The International Academic Achievements & Awards event recognizes researchers whose published work shows scholarly rigor and relevance to their field. The Best Research Article Award focuses on individual articles, assessing methodological soundness, clarity of contribution and potential application. Armin Hasanpour is considered here on the basis of his indexed record and recent journal publications in engineering.[1]

His research addresses problems in water treatment, solar energy reliability, hydrogen production and petrochemical process operation, areas closely tied to sustainability and industrial efficiency.

Research Profile

Hasanpour is affiliated with Shahrood University of Technology in Iran, and his Scopus author record lists two documents in the engineering subject area. The record shows no citations and an h-index of 0 at the time of writing, which is consistent with a researcher whose principal articles appeared recently.[1] His ORCID record lists additional works, including journal articles and a preprint, and links his publications to a single persistent identifier.[5]

Research Contributions

His work can be grouped into several themes:

  • Membrane technology: a study combining computational fluid dynamics with experiments to evaluate fouling in graphene oxide-modified polyethersulfone ultrafiltration membranes, published in Water Conservation Science and Engineering.[2]
  • Photovoltaic reliability: numerical analysis of how weather conditions affect hail impact severity and damage to photovoltaic panels, published in Sustainable Energy Technologies and Assessments.[3] A related preprint examines hail impact angle and angular velocity under varying wind speeds.[5]
  • Hydrogen and energy systems: simulation and pinch analysis of hydrogen production from biogas.[4]
  • Petrochemical processes: theoretical modeling of hydrocarbon sediment formation in distillation towers used for styrene monomer production.[5]

Publications

Selected works associated with the nominee are listed below.

  1. Tabazadeh, A., Hasanpour, A., Manouchehri, M., & Mousazadehgavan, M. (2026). CFD-based modeling and experimental evaluation of fouling in graphene oxide-modified polyethersulfone ultrafiltration membranes. Water Conservation Science and Engineering.[2]
  2. Hasanpour, A., Hassani, F., Afsharpour, A., & Saedpanah, B. (2026). Numerical modeling and analysis of weather conditions effects on hail impact severity and damage to photovoltaic panels. Sustainable Energy Technologies and Assessments.[3]
  3. Hasanpour, A., Hoseinzadeh Shandiz, M., Gholian Mohamdi, P., & Taheri, H. (2025). Hydrogen production from biogas: Simulation and pinch analysis. Advanced Journal of Chemistry, Section B.[4]

Research Impact

Bibliometric indicators for the nominee are currently modest, with two indexed documents and no recorded citations.[1] Because several of the articles were published in late 2025 and 2026, citation counts are expected to lag behind publication. The topics themselves, namely membrane fouling, solar panel durability and cleaner hydrogen production, are active areas of applied research, which gives the work a clear context for future citation and use.

Award Suitability

The nominee is considered suitable for the Best Research Article Award for the following reasons:

  • Recent publication in peer-reviewed journals, including a Springer-published and an Elsevier-published journal.[2][3]
  • Combination of computational modeling with experimental validation.
  • Relevance to water treatment, renewable energy and industrial process design.
  • Collaborative authorship that reflects engagement with the wider research community.

Conclusion

Armin Hasanpour is an early-stage engineering researcher whose recent articles apply numerical and experimental methods to practical problems in membranes, photovoltaics, hydrogen production and petrochemical processing. His nomination for the Best Research Article Award reflects the quality and relevance of this recent output, and his record is likely to develop as the publications gain readership.[1]
