About

Dr. Wiem Alloun received her PhD in Microbial Biotechnology and Bioprocesses in 2023 from the Department of Applied Biology, University Mentouri Constantine 1, Algeria. Her research focuses on industrial microbiology and bioprocess engineering, with particular emphasis on the identification of microorganisms, extraction and characterization of secondary metabolites, and the development of sustainable microbial bioprocesses using plant-based substrates through both solid-state and submerged fermentation systems. Her work also integrates advanced statistical optimization strategies and design of experiments, including the application of machine learning approaches to enhance bioprocess performance.

Dr. Alloun has developed solid teaching and academic experience over the years. She served as a natural sciences teacher at the secondary education level between 2016 and 2018. From 2018 to 2024, she held the position of Temporary Assistant Professor at the Department of Applied Biology, University Mentouri Constantine 1, where she taught Environmental Microbiology and Principles of Biological Purification. Since 2025, she has been appointed Assistant Professor at the same institution, contributing to both teaching and research activities in microbial biotechnology and bioprocess engineering.

In addition to her academic and teaching responsibilities, Dr. Alloun is actively involved in the scientific community. She serves as a reviewer for internationally recognized journals, including the Chemical Engineering Journal and the Journal of King Saud University. She is also a member of the Belgian Society for Microbiology and the Federation of European Microbiological Societies, reflecting her engagement with the broader microbiology research community.
