Keynote Speakers

Prof. Abdeltif Amrane
University of Rennes 1, France
Title: (Electrochemical) Advanced oxidation processes for the removal of recalcitrant organic compounds – Coupling to a biological treatment
AMRANE Abdeltif: Professor – Exceptional class, UMR CNRS 6226 ISCR, University of Rennes / Member of the Algerian Academy of Science and Technology / Associate Researcher, INTI International University Nilai, Malaysia. (Google Scholar: h-index: 74; citations: 22661 // Scopus: h-index: 64; citations: 17216). 1998: Thesis Director Enabling Degree (Univ. Rennes 1) / 1991: PhD in Chemistry (Univ. Rennes 1) / 1988: Master (DEA) in Chemistry (Univ. Rennes 1) / 1987: Chemical Engineering Degree (USTHB – Algeria). Since approximately 20 years his research is entirely devoted to the development of combined processes for the removal of organic pollutants in effluent wastewater and gaseous emissions within the CIP team. He has managed 16 PhD theses as thesis director and 2 are in progress; he has also co-managed 24 PhD theses and 4 co-managements theses are in progress. He has been involved as a manager or a participant in several national and international projects, as well in international collaborations (Algeria, Belgium, Hungary, Iran, Lebanon, Mexico, Morocco, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Tunisia…). He has published more than 600 international papers including 15 papers in press. He is the co-Editor of five books (Elsevier). He has also published 12 chapter books and has about 130 international and 20 national oral communications.
Prof. Ivana Barisic
University of Osijek, Croatia
Title: Smart and Sustainable Roads: Integrating Alternative Materials and Advanced Technologies
BARIŠIĆ Ivana is a professor at the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Architecture Osijek, Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek. Her scientific and professional work is focused on sustainable road construction, with particular emphasis on the development and application of alternative materials for pavement structures. Through her research, she actively promotes innovative, environmentally responsible, and sustainable solutions in pavement engineering. Over the course of her academic career, she has built a strong record of achievements in scientific research, international collaboration, industry engagement, and the mentoring of young engineers and researchers. She is the author and co-author of more than 90 peer-reviewed journal and conference publications, two scientific books, and five book chapters published by international publishers. In addition to her research activities, Professor Barišić has contributed to the scientific community as a Technical Editor and guest editor of special issues in two international journals. She has successfully supervised one PhD thesis, while currently supervising another doctoral candidate. She has participated in numerous national and international scientific and professional projects, serving both as project leader and research team member. Alongside her academic work, she has also contributed as a designer on professional traffic infrastructure and transportation area projects, connecting scientific research with practical engineering applications.
Dr. Mijia Yang
North Dakota State University, USA
Title: To be confirmed.
Dr. Mijia Yang, P.E., was a tenured professor at Department of Civil, Construction and Environmental Engineering, North Dakota State University. Dr. Yang has practiced teaching and research broadly in structural engineering. His research concentrates on innovative solar infrastructural systems, impact and blast protection with advanced engineering materials, smart health monitoring in Civil Infrastructure, and self-heating concrete. His representative work included developing a systematic design method for impact barriers, a unified fatigue criterion for uniaxial Polyurethane E-Glass composite laminates, and innovative solar snow fence systems.
Dr. Adnan Anwar Malik
University of Newcastle Australia, Australia
Title: Screw Piles: Driving Sustainable Foundation Solutions
Dr Adnan Anwar Malik is an accomplished academic and geotechnical engineer with over 20 years of combined professional and academic experience, currently serving as Head of STEM Programs and Program Coordinator at the Newcastle Australia Institute of Higher Education in Singapore, an offshore campus of the University of Newcastle, Australia. He has developed internationally recognised expertise in geotechnical engineering, with a particular research focus on screw pile behaviour, soil–structure interaction, and sustainable foundation systems. His work, widely published in peer-reviewed journals, has significantly advanced the understanding of screw pile performance and its application in modern, sustainable construction practices. Notably, his research has demonstrated that screw pile capacity is highly sensitive to installation parameters such as advancement ratio, with increasing ratios raising installation loads while reducing torque and fundamentally altering the soil state surrounding the pile. Beyond this, he is actively working on enhancing the performance of rotary press-in and screw piling systems by reducing installation effort while maximising bearing resistance across a variety of ground conditions, thereby expanding their applicability in challenging geotechnical environments.
