Pr. Johan Jacquemin Since January 2022, Johan Jacquemin has been an Associate Professor in Thermodynamics within the MSN department of Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P). An internationally recognized expert in thermodynamics and phase equilibria, he has developed innovative experimental methodologies and cutting-edge predictive models aimed at:

• Understanding the physical and chemical nature of new materials,
• Designing viable industrial processes.

His expertise is evidenced by numerous awards, including the Franzosini Prize awarded by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) in July 2021. An active member of IUPAC's subcommittees on physical chemistry and solubility data since 2012, he has accumulated over 2,500 hours of higher education teaching across five countries. As a scientific editor, he contributes to prestigious journals such as the Journal of Solution Chemistry and currently serves as Editor-in-Chief of the journal Thermo.

Areas of Expertise and Recent Activities

Pr. Johan Jacquemin's expertise and recent research efforts focus on applied thermodynamics and understanding phase equilibria to develop:

• New steel grades at laboratory and industrial scales,
• Strategies for the capture, storage, and conversion of industrially significant gases (CO₂, H₂, CH₄, SOₓ, NOₓ...).

Since joining UM6P, he has been leading an Accelerated Research and Prototyping Center (ARC) dedicated to metallurgy, in collaboration with MSN/UM6P and Maghreb Steel. He is also exploring innovative solutions to address tomorrow's environmental and energy challenges, ranging from industrial decarbonization to the development of new technological materials.

• An individual written exam at the end of Modules 1 and 2;
• Mini-project reports to be submitted at the end of Module 3 (Group Work);
