Amar Tilmatine received the M.S. degree in electrical engineering and the Magister (Dr. Eng.) degree from the University of Science and Technology, Oran, Algeria, in 1988 and 1991, respectively.
He obtained the Doctorate degree in 2004 from the Electrical Engineering Institute of Sidi-Bel-Abbes University, Algeria. In 2010, he was promoted to the rank of Professor. He is also a Senior IEEE member and past-chair of IEEE Algeria section.
Since 1991, he has been teaching electric field theory, high-voltage Engineering and applied electrostatics at the Institute of Electrical Engineering, Djillali Liabes University, Sidi-Bel-Abbes, Algeria. He is also currently the director of the APELEC laboratory and the manager of the technological platform “Industrial technologies” situated in the Faculty of Technology at Djillali Liabes university.
He published over 120 articles in refereed journals and 10 patents, with an h index 22. His research topics are related to high voltage applications, the main domain being the applied electrostatics, in particular electrostatic separators and precipitators. He is also working on pulsed electric field applied in food industry and dielectric barrier discharge and their applications.
He signed two memoranda of understanding with two national companies with two deliverables which are an electrostatic separator of particles for waste recycling and three models of ozone generators for disinfection. A signature of a third memorandum of understanding is in progress with ENIE company for commercialisation of a patented sterilizer of medical devices.
