Scientific Background
I am a textile material Engineer, graduated from ENSAIT of Roubaix in France. I have a phd and Hdr in flexible. I am an Associate Professor. I was the head of design department for four years and now I am the director of studies and vice director of our higher Institute in the University Sfax in Tunisia and also of member of the scientific council and responsible of habilitating and accrediting different curricula in our higher Institute. I am the head of the quality committee in our Higher Institute, of Design. I supervise master and phd Students with the main topics of eco-design, green design and circular design approaches. I am a Research Group leader in our Research laboratory engineering LGTex. I also coordinated different International project such as Wintex Erasmus+ for CBHE.

Motivation
I have the pleasure to apply for this COST Action to be part of a network of relevant stakeholders in order to develop joint ideas and initiatives which can be turned into integrating diverse expertise and develop trans-domain competences that are essential to the development of innovative methods to apply circularity strategies in design and construction activities and identify best practice application to become a mainstream technology with potential for greatly expanded environmental and socioeconomical impact. By joining such action, I will help fostering the transfer of knowledge among different actors and scientific excellence, as well as the expertise of industrial members, will address environmental societal, scientific and economic issues through open access dissemination and promotion. Share knowledge among different disciplines that may not otherwise engage to promote future collaborations in different discipline in science and technology. I was a member in the Circular City Cost Action.

Contribution
"I will participate in the actions of the WGs to bring together experts from the Green design and recycling flexible material in building side from academia/research to support the development of solutions that allow consumer needs. I will help in strengthening the research activities and best practices and the scientific capacity by involving phd students because the wealth and wellbeing of coming generations will depend on our ability to adapt our economies to this challenge in the finite world we are living in. Transforming today’s building into sustainable cities is one of the main adaptations that will be necessary. I am willing to contribute to the WGs on basis of my knowledge in product green design and participate in fostering the WGs activities on a wider-geographical area and the improvement of knowledge in new sustainable building flexible structures and products with social innovation and inclusion in a global projection.
