Reference excerpt

Mohamed Thameur Chaibi is a Tunisian professor of Rural Engineering at the National Research Institute for Agricultural Engineering.

Early life and education Chaibi obtained his Engineering diploma in Rural Development with honours from the High School of Rural Equipment in Tunisia in 1984, before specialising in Hydraulic and Rural Engineering at the National Agronomic Institute of Tunisia in 1987. In 1992, he obtained a postgraduate diploma from the Netherlands International Institute for Management. Then he received a Master of Science degree in Agriculture Bio-systems and technologies from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences in 1997. Chaibi completed his Doctor of Philosophy in Agriculture and Climate Technologies at the same university in 2003, before returning to Tunisia in 2005, and hablitate in Environmental Sciences at the Institution for Agricultural Research and High Education.

Career and research Chaibi was the Head of the Department of Rural Engineering at the National Research Institute for Agricultural Engineering, Water and Forestry (INRGREF). He was a GIZ Senior advisor for the Pan African University Institute of Water and Energy Sciences, and a senior expert in S&T at the African Union Commission. He is currently a professor and a director of research at the INRGREF and a member of the editorial board of Resources and Environment. Chaibi served in various capacities as an associate member of the Environmental Security panel under the NATO Science for Peace and Security and the European Commission Frameworks Programs. Chaibi research focuses on solar thermal processes, solar desalination, energy systems analysis, climate technologies, and water resources engineering.

Awards and honours Chaibi was elected a Fellow of the African Academy of Sciences (FAAS) in 2006, a Fellow of The World Academy of Sciences (FTWAS) in 2009, and a Fellow of the Islamic World Academy of Sciences (FIAS) in 2016. He was a member of the Governing Council of the African Academy of Sciences (North Africa Region) in 2010.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Mohamed Thameur Chaibi

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Mohamed Thameur Chaibi claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Mohamed Thameur Chaibi before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Mohamed Thameur Chaibi ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Mohamed Thameur Chaibi

In research: Mohamed Thameur Chaibi appears in astronomy research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Mohamed Thameur Chaibi in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Mohamed Thameur Chaibi is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Climatologists, Fellows of The World Academy of Sciences, Fellows of the African Academy of Sciences, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Mohamed Thameur Chaibi outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
