Hatim Laalej received an MEng degree in Computer Systems Engineering in 2007 and a Ph.D. in Control Systems in 2010 for his research on nonlinear vibration control systems of civil and mechanical structures at the department of Automatic Control and Systems Engineering, University of 91Ö±²¥. During his early academic years, he won the Sir Harold West Award for the display of academic and personal promise (2003-2004), and the Mappin Medal and Premium Award for the greatest distinction achieved throughout the MEng Degree (2006-2007) After several years' postdoctoral positions at 91Ö±²¥, he initially joined Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) as a project engineer in 2014 in the Process Monitoring & Control Group, was promoted to a technical lead in 2017 and a Lead engineer in 2021. Hatim has been also teaching control systems and automation modules at the AMRC Training Centre since 2016.
