Faycal Ikhouane currently holds both a research and teaching post with the Control, Dynamics and Applications group at the Technical University of Catalunya, Spain. He has been in this job since 2002, after having been a visiting scholar at the University of California in Santa Barbara, and a lecturer and associate researcher with the Ecole Nationale d'Industrie Minerale and the Ecole Mohammadia d'Ingenieurs in Morocco. He also worked in industry as a control engineer at the Societe des Ciments d'Agadir, Morocco. Dr Ikhouane is now conducting research on modelling, identification and control of mechanical systems and smart structures with nonlinearities such as hysteresis and friction, and is helping to set up a new research laboratory on these topics. He has co-authored around 10 journal papers and 20 papers and presentations at major conferences.
