Research Interests:

"Our present research interests are concerned with finding solutions of quantum mechanical problems using the tridiagonal representation approach which was founded by our group and investigating the transport properties of low dimensional electronic systems such as graphene and its multilayer cousins."

Biographical Sketch:
A graduate of the University of Algiers (BSc. 1981) and University of Ann Arbor, Michigan (MSc. 1983) and University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign (Ph.D. 1988). Then Professor Bahlouli joined the Physics department at KFUPM in September of 1989,  after serving a one-year postdoctoral member at the Center of Theoretical Physics, Minnesota, USA, 1988-1989. He was promoted to Associate Professor in 1994 and full Professor in July 1999. 

AWARDS & HONORS
He was awarded the KFUPM Best Research Award (1998, 2013 and 2019).
Associate Member of the International Center for Theoretical Physics (ICTP), Italy (1997-2002).
Physics Editor for the AJSE, Arabian Journal of Science and Engineering, since March, 1999 – 2008.
