A native of Morocco, Kamal Benslama moved to Switzerland in 1989 to study physics at the University of Geneva. He received his Bachelor and Master in high-energy physics from the same University. In 1993, he started a PhD in the Department of High Energy Physics at the University of Lausanne (this department is now part of the EPFL since 2003) and received his PhD degree from the same university in 1998. Then he moved to North America. First, he worked as a postdoc on the CLEO experiment at Cornell University in the United States, later he became a research scientist at Columbia University in New York and scientist associate on the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. From 2006 to 2011, Kamal was a physics professor at the University of Regina in Canada. During this period, Kamal established and led an international research team in high energy physics, , working on the ATLAS experiment at CERN in Geneva.
Kamal was a member of the ATLAS Collaboration Board, a member of the ATLAS Liquid Argon calorimeters board and a member of the ATLAS Canada board. He served on several committees within the ATLAS collaboration and led the US ATLAS exotics physics program while he was a scientist a Columbia University. Since November 2011, he is a Peer Reviewer (PR) for the Qatar National Priorities Research Program (NPRP) which is the flagship program of the Qatar National Research Fund (QNRF).
Kamal’s research work is published in international refereed journals, such as, Physical Review Letters, Physical Review and European Journal of Physics. He has co-authored over 200 research papers with total citations of over 7000, and an average citations of 40 per paper. He gave over 20 talks at international conferences, symposiums and as invited seminars. He also have gave over 200 talks within the ATLAS collaboration.
