He has developed two PhD courses: Machine Learning for Fluid & Heat Flow and Turbulence Theory & Modelling. He has supervised 5 PDFs, 3 Research Engineers, 7 PhD students and 13 Masters students
He has been the leader of many industrial projects and has managed to secure +6M US$ in funding. He has been participating in the management of KU Research Centre on Catalysis and Separation as a theme leader since the RC inception in 2018.
During his academic career, Dr Berrouk published two books, three book chapters and more than 120 papers on his research work in peer-reviewed international journals and conference proceedings. 45% of his publications are in D1 (top 10%) journals and 80% are in Q1 journals.
He chaired and participated in many university committees for both chemical and mechanical engineering departments notably web-presence and graduate program committees.
He was member of the technical Committee of GASCO/ADGAS (ADNOC gas companies) Gas-Sub-Committee (2011 to 2015). He was also member of ADPEC (2013 to 20018) Technical Committee for the “Gas Processing Technology” and “Talent & People” themes.
He was also part of ADNOC task force (2015) put together to assess HiGee technology potential for ADNOC gas and refining operations.
Dr Berrouk is a recipient of many awards: Algerian Government Award (2001) for top 1% Algerian Engineers, Worldwide University Network Award (2005) for best research collaboration proposal, Manchester Science Enterprise (2006) for second best business proposal, ADNOC R&D Bright Finding & Integration Research Pen Award for outstanding deliverables researchers (2013), ADNOC R&D General Management Committee Award for outstanding technical support (2013 and 2014), ADNOC R&D Book of Wisdom Award– Completed research Project Members (2014), and ADNOC R&D Science Lantern Faculty Award – Faculties who worked or supported ADNOC R&D Projects (2014).
Dr. Berrouk is a member of the International Advisory Board of the Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering and member of the Editorial Board of the American Journal of Fluid Dynamics and Pollutants Journal
