He is a geophysicist and he occupied the position of rector of the University of M'Sila, Algeria . In 2016 he was the president-representative of the Algerian Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research, of the national steering and monitoring committee for the implementation of the pedagogical accompaniment program for the benefit of the teacher-researcher in Algeria. He has been a university professor since 1998. He developed a complex parameter, combining several physical fields recorded during the rupture of large blocks of rock, precursor of the different stages of deformation of these solid bodies under high pressure and temperatures conditions.
Education
Bidari holds a Bachelor of Science (1978) from the Lycée Ben Mhidi, a Master of Geophysics (1983) from the University of Boumerdès and a PhD of Geophysics(1987) from the Academy of Sciences of the Soviet Union.

From 1983 to 1987, he prepared a Ph.D in geophysics at the Russian geological prospecting university and the Institute of Physics of the Earth- Academy of Sciences of USSR in Moscow. In 1988, he obtained the equivalent degree of the Algerian State Doctorate (Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research) — Algeria. In 1991, he received the Doctorate Nauk diploma in Physics and Mathematics (doktor physico mathematicheskikh nauk recognized for Soviet talented Scientist) for a thesis realized in Russian geological prospecting university and the Institute of Physics of the Earth - Academy of Sciences of the USSR Moscow about the complex studies of physical precursors of failure of rocks in relation to earthquake prediction, the fractal structure of geophysical field, and the simulation of seismic process. He obtained this highest scientific title for his contribution to the development of science.
Career
From 1990 until 1993, Bidari worked as head of department of Geophysics of Random Phenomena at the University of Boumerdès. Between July 1998 and September 2000, he was the Vice-Rector of the University of Boumerdès. His transversal knowledge led him to contribute to strengthening the higher education.
