نبذة تعريفية / مختصر السيرة الذاتية

Welcome to the web site of Dr Jamel Orfi, Mechanical Engineering Department, King Saud University

Dr. Jamel Orfi obtained his BSc of Mechanical Engineering from Laval University, Canada and his MSc and PhD Degrees from Sherbrooke University, Canada in 1995. He worked in Tunisia and Canada as assistant Professor. He joined King Saud University (KSU) in 2007. His research interests focus on desalination processes and analysis of thermal and desalination systems, as well as on renewable energy applications. He developed several national and international collaborations on research projects on power and desalination, solar energy, evaporative cooling systems, and brine discharge problems. He has several publications including more than 110 journal papers and international conferences, 6 book chapters and one granted US patent on solar desalination. Dr. Orfi had been between 2012-2014 a member of KSU’s MED (Multiple Effect Distillation) technology transfer team collaborating with SWCC (Saline Water Conversion Corporation). He is a Fellow KA.CARE Energy Research and Innovation since 2019 . He is involved in teaching and supervising undergraduate and graduate students on Desalination and Thermal Sciences.
