Prof. El Mokhtar ESSASSI received his Ph.D. in 1977 from the University of Sciences and Techniques of Languedoc (Montpellier, France) under the supervision of Professor Philippe VIALLEFONT. In 1977, he joined the Faculty of Science of Mohammed V University in Rabat and became a full Professor in 1981 at the same university. He founded the Heterocyclic Organic Chemistry Laboratory and the Moroccan Group of Heterocyclic Chemistry in 1999. He is the investigator of the organization of the National Meetings of Heterocyclic Chemistry (1993, 1996, 1998, 2000, 2002, 2007, 2009, 2011). He was the national coordinator for competence pole Pharmacochemistry created in 2002. He was the director of the Composites Nanocomposites Center of the Moroccan Foundation for Advanced Science, Innovation, and Research (MAScIR) from 2010 to 2019. He is a member of TRAMECH (Trans Mediterranean Colloquium on Heterocyclic Chemistry) scientific committee representing Morocco. He was the chairman of TRAMECH III (Marrakech, 2004 and TRAMECH VII, (Rabat, 2013). He is currently a member of the jury of the aggregation in physical sciences. He is the editor-in-chief of the Moroccan Journal of Heterocyclic Chemistry launched in 2002 indexed in Chemical Abstracts, DOAJ, and Google Scholar, and archived in EBSCO. He was a Visiting Professor at the Artois University (2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011), University of Orléans (2008, 2012) and University of Angers (2012) in France.
