Graduated from France with a PhD in chemistry, and worked for both academia and industry for 27 years. I taught undergrad /grad students and mentored MS/PhD students.

Belabbes and I worked with each other for many years at UTC Power. He is an excellent chemist/electrochemist with a high standard for ethics. Above all, he is kind and a very good human being. Belabbes and I have had many discussions not only in fundamental chemistry but also the role of applied science and engineering in practical ways to help solve todays problems. I highly recommend Belabbes to anyone who is interested in learning chemistry. You will not only learn fundamentals but also practical ways to solve problems based on fundamental science.

I am pleased to offer my wholehearted recommendation for Prof. Belabbes as an outstanding educator in the field of electrochemistry. Prof. Belabbes combines deep subject expertise with an engaging teaching style that makes complex electrochemical concepts accessible and inspiring for students at all levels.

His ability to link theoretical principles to real-world applications not only strengthens foundational understanding but also ignites genuine interest in the subject. Prof. Belabbes fosters a supportive and intellectually stimulating classroom environment, encouraging active participation, critical thinking, and collaborative learning.

It is rare to find a teacher who is equally committed to academic rigor and student success.

Belabbes is extraordinarily skilled in electrochemistry, in basic science aspects as well as in practical applications. Areas in which he has made seminal accomplishments include redox flow batteries, PEM fuel cells, and electrolyzers. Further, he is a superb lecturer - well organized, authoritative and entertaining. He is a devoted student advisor as well, both on the undergraduate and graduate level. In consideration of his extensive talents and high motivation, I have no doubt that he would serve admirably.

Belabbes is one of the most outstanding electrochemists I have had the pleasure of working with. He is exceptionally hardworking and demonstrates the highest standards of work ethic. Any organization would be fortunate to have him on their team
