From September 2009 to January 2018 I was a Senior Lecturer of Finance and Head of finance pathway of Cardiff Metropolitan University programs (Campus: Associate College SIST). In the same period I was the Director of Studies responsible for Cardiff Metropolitan University undergraduate and postgraduate program accreditation within the Moroccan Ministry of Higher Education and the QAA authority.

Since 2006, I worked as an Associate Professor at the International institute of Higher Education in Morocco, IIHEM (Partner of Virginia Commonwealth University,USA) lecturing on different subjects at undergraduate and postgraduate Level : Corporate Finance , Financial and Managerial Accounting , Engineering Economics ,Financial modeling, international finance and Megers and acquisitions.

 

In parallel to my teaching expertise, I was since 2014 a Research Fellow at “the Laboratory of Research and Studies in Applied Mathematics (LERMA)” and “the Laboratory of Islamic Financial Engineering (IFE-Lab) of EMI School of Engineering. The Latter is the first of its kind in terms of modeling Islamic financial products and wholly sponsored by the Islamic Bank of Development.
