Dr. Said Laassiri is currently an assistant professor in Heterogenous Catalysis at Chemical & Biochemical Sciences. Green Process Engineering (CBS) Department at Mohammed VI Polytechnic University , Morocco. His current research focuses on the domain of heterogeneous catalysis with a particular emphasis on the elucidation of structure-catalytic activity relationship. The underlying theme is the development of alternative materials (e.g. mixed oxides, nitrides and carbides) as novel catalytic materials with applications in a variety of catalyzed reactions (oxidation reactions, methanation reaction, ammonia synthesis...etc).

Dr, Said Laasssiri graduated with an MSci degree in Chemistry & Chemical Sciences at the University of Poitiers, France in 2009. He carried out his Ph.D. co-jointly at the University of Laval in Quebec – Canada and the University of Poitiers in France. His Ph.D work involved the investigation of structure- redox properties - catalytic activity relationship in oxidation reaction catalysed by hexaaluminate and perovskite mixed oxide (graduation in 2014). Following his Ph.D., Dr. Said Laassiri joined, he joined the School of Chemistry at the University of Glasgow (UK) working with Pr. J.S.J. Hargreaves as research associate on the catalytic synthesis of ammonia. In 2018, he was awarded “Make our planet great again” grant to develop Chemical looping approach for ammonia generation at ambient conditions at the university of Lille. In 2020, Dr, Said Laassiri joined Mohammed VI Polytechnic University as an Assistant Professor in Heterogenous Catalysis
