Ramdane Younsi

Ramdane Younsi serves as a Lecturer in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Polytechnique Montréal, focusing on thermal-fluid sciences education and research. His academic activities center on experimental and computational analysis of heat and mass transfer phenomena, particularly in wood thermal treatment processes.

His research interests span heat and mass transfer, computational fluid dynamics, wood thermal treatment technologies, and educational experimental methods. Recent work emphasizes dimensionless analysis of torrefaction processes, microwave-assisted drying of timber, and pedagogical applications of equipment characterization in engineering education. His publications demonstrate consistent methodology combining numerical modeling with experimental validation.

Professor Younsi's publication record shows significant evolution from fundamental porous media research (2001-2009) to applied wood processing technologies (2010-2019), with increasing focus on educational applications in his most recent work. His 42 publications include 32 journal articles in specialized venues like Thermal Science and Drying Technology, reflecting deep engagement with thermal engineering communities.

His collaborative network includes long-term partnerships with Duygu Kocaefe, Sandris Poncsak, and Said Kadem, evidenced by frequent co-authorship across multiple publication types including journal articles, conference papers, and books. Professor Younsi maintains active engagement with educational conferences (INTED, EDULEARN) where he presents experimental pedagogy methods.
