Mouad JEBLI

Mouad JEBLI is an Associate Professor at CESI Engineering School in Aix-en-Provence, France, where he serves as a Teacher-researcher within the Engineering and Digital Tools research team. His academic focus centers on the chemomechanical behavior and durability of concrete materials, with particular expertise in interfacial transition zone (ITZ) characterization and degradation mechanisms.

His educational background includes a Doctorate in Mechanics and Civil Engineering (2013-2016) from University of Montpellier/IMT Mines Alès, with research on local-scale mechanical properties of cement paste-aggregate interfaces, and a Specialized Master in Engineering and Project Management of Building and Public Works (2011-2012) from University of Montpellier 2 and Cadi Ayyad University, Morocco.

Dr. JEBLI's research spans Concrete Technology, Durability of Materials, and Mechanical Behavior of Materials, emphasizing experimental characterization of chemomechanical degradation processes including leaching, internal sulfate attack, and interface mechanics. His work integrates multi-scale approaches from nanoindentation to structural testing, with significant contributions to cohesive zone modeling and composite repair techniques for concrete structures.

Analysis of his 15 most recent publications (2018-2024) reveals consistent focus on experimental methodologies for concrete durability assessment, with strong emphasis on interface mechanics, degradation modeling, and sustainable repair solutions. Key thematic trends include the evolution of ITZ properties under chemical attack, development of predictive models for material interfaces, and application of natural fiber composites for structural rehabilitation.

His scientific recognition includes:

• Best Poster Award at 36èmes Rencontres de l’AUGC (2018)

Dr. JEBLI actively supervises graduate research, currently guiding PhD candidate MA TAZI (defending 2026) on composite patch repairs, and previously supervised PhD graduates S. NESRINE (2021) and A. Girboveanu (2020), along with multiple Master's students including Fabrice GBEWADE (2019) and Kim Quyen Nguyen (2016). His research is conducted through the Engineering and Digital Tools team, which develops advanced engineering methodologies for construction materials and structural systems.
