I am an associate professor in plant biology at University of M’sila. I have been practicing amateur astronomy, and in particular astrophotography, for more than twenty years and participated to various astronomy activities in Algeria and abroad. I am also a founding member of the Sirius Astronomy Association, a leading association in Algeria and the Arab World and Africa for promoting astronomy. I have participated in various observation campaigns like total solar eclipses (The 2006 and 2009 total solar eclipses from respectively Jalu in Libya and Hangzhou in China, the 2005 annular one from Batna, Algeria), as well as asteroid occultations campaigns, the Hale Bopp comet one, etc. In addition to that, I contributed to various educational events for young amateurs, and a workshop we organized in my hometown for IAU100 got the first prize in a worldwide competition
