Kamel Bidari

Kamel Bidari (born 1 February 1960) is the Algerian Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research. He was appointed as minister on 9 September 2022.

He was born in 1960 in Biskra, Algeria. He is a physicist and mathematician occupying the position of rector of the University of M'Sila, Algeria. In 2016 he was the president-representative of the Algerian Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research, of the national steering and monitoring committee for the implementation of the pedagogical accompaniment program for the benefit of the teacher-researcher in Algeria.

He has been a university professor since 1998, he was considered the youngest professor in Algeria in 1998 and the youngest holder of State Doctorate in 1987. From 1997 to 2001, he was designated associate professor at University of Oklahoma (United States), responsible for the supervision and training in mathematical model simulation of engineers in field development of SONTRACH company at the Algerian Petroleum Institute (Boumerdes-Algeria).

He developed a complex parameter, combining several physical fields recorded during the rupture of large blocks of rock, precursor of the different stages of deformation of these solid bodies under high pressure and temperatures conditions.

Education
Bidari holds a Bachelor of Science (1978) from the Lycée Ben Mhidi, a Master of Geophysics (1983) from the University of Boumerdès and a PhD of Physics and Mathematics (1987) from the Academy of Sciences of the Soviet Union.

In 1978, he obtained the scientific (Secondary School) Degree from Larbi Ben M’Hidi — Biskra high school. He has been graduated from the National Institute of Hydrocarbons and Chemistry (INH) in Boumerdes-Algeria (first of the student promotion of 1983), when he obtained «State Engineer» Degree in Geophysics. From 1983 to 1987, he prepared a Doctorate of Philosophy (Ph.D) in physics and mathematics at the Russian geological prospecting university and the Institute of Physics of the Earth- Academy of Sciences of USSR in Moscow. In 1988, he obtained the equivalent degree of the Algerian State Doctorate (Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research) — Algeria. In 1991, he received the Doctorate Nauk diploma in Physics and Mathematics (doktor physico mathematicheskikh nauk recognized for Soviet talented Scientist) for a thesis realized in Russian geological prospecting university and the Institute of Physics of the Earth - Academy of Sciences of the USSR Moscow about the complex studies of physical precursors of failure of rocks in relation to earthquake prediction, the fractal structure of geophysical field, and the simulation of seismic process. He obtained this highest scientific title for his contribution to the development of science.

Career
From 1990 until 1993, Bidari worked as head of department of Geophysics of Random Phenomena at the University of Boumerdès. Between July 1998 and September 2000, he was the Vice-Rector of the University of Boumerdès.

His transversal knowledge led him to contribute to strengthening the higher education. He was the head of several institutions: from 2017 to now: Rector of Mohamed Boudiaf university — M’Sila (Algeria); from 2016 to now: Chairman of the national commission for the training of higher education teachers (Algeria); 08/2016 - 06/2017: Director of Studies, the Minister's advisor of Higher Education (Algeria); 2012 - 2016: Rector of Mohand Akli Oulhadj University — Bouira (Algeria); 2000 - 2012: Dean of the Faculty of Science at University of Boumerdes (Algeria); 07/1998 - 09/2000: Vice-Rector of Mhamed Bougara University - Boumerdes (Algeria); 1990 - 1993: Head of department of geophysics and random phenomena (National Institute of Hydrocarbons and Chemistry INH)— Boumerdes (Algeria); 1987 - 1990: Head of department of physics and mathematics - INH (Algeria). In 1988 he founded the laboratory of Physics of the Earth - INH (Algeria).
