Hassan Lyamani graduated in Physics by Tetuan University (Morocco) in 1995 with honors and obtained the PhD degree in Physics at Granada University (Spain) with the highest grade in 2002. In 2007 he obtained Master degree in Geophysics and Meteorology at Granada University. His main fields of research are the aerosol characterization, aerosol effects on the Earth radiative balance and air quality. In 2004-2005, he was awarded with a postdoctoral fellowship of Spanish Agency for International Cooperation. Since 2006, he earned several competitive research contracts which have allowed him a great capability of working independently at multidisciplinary research environment, as documented in his publications. He holds a Torres Quevedo contract at the Sieltec Canarias Spanish Company specialized in atmospheric instrumentation development. During his research career, he made short research stays at the University of Évora (Portugal), Instituto di metodology per l´analisis ambientale (Italia), Institute for Experimental Physics (Austria).
He published 73 articles in high-impact journals with an h-index=22. Furthermore, H. Lyamani has published 1 book, 3 book chapters, 40 papers in conference proceedings and more than 100 communications. He has participated and collaborated in more than 20 national and international projects. He also was/is associate member in national and international networks (AERONET, ACTRIS and EARLINET, SPALINET, REDMAAS, and RIMA). Hassan Lyamani has participated in various international field campaigns and workshops, and in the organization committee in two conferences (Recta 2010 and EAC 2012).
Since 2009, he teaches course on Atmospheric Aerosol Physics, Measurement, and Sampling within the Master in Geophysics and Meteorology at University of Granada, Spain. The course gives an overview of the state of the art of the aerosol instrumentation and atmospheric aerosol measurements: Physical, optical, and electrical properties, mobility and aerodynamic size spectrometers, particle counters, integrating nephelometer, absorption photometers.
In 2013, H. Lyamani has achieved a positive assessment by the national Agency for Quality Assessment and Accreditation, included in the European Quality Assurance Register for Higher Education. He supervised one PhD thesis and 4 Master theses. In recent years, he has actively participated in outreach activities (e.g. Researchers’ Night, an activity promoted by the European Commission). H. Lyamani has acted as referee of various international journals.
