Adel Aschi’s educational journey is marked by significant achievements in the field of physics. In 2009, he earned Accreditation to Supervise Research from the Faculty of Mathematical, Physical, and Natural Sciences of Tunis. Prior to that, he obtained his Ph.D. in Physics in 2001, a degree that was jointly supervised by the same faculty in Tunis and the Paris-Grignon National Agronomic Institute in France. In 1996, Aschi completed his Research Master’s Degree, followed by a Mastery in Physics in 1994, both from the Faculty of Mathematical, Physical, and Natural Sciences of Tunis. His academic foundation was laid with the completion of his Baccalaureate Diploma in 1987.

Adel Aschi has held several key academic positions throughout his career. Since April 19, 2019, he has served as the Director of the Soft Matter Physics Laboratory (Lab code: LR99ES16) and the Coordinator of the Master of Soft Matter Physics program. He has been a Full Professor at the Faculty of Sciences of Tunis (FST) since July 27, 2015, where he teaches a range of advanced courses, including Physics of Soft Matter, Specific Analysis Techniques for Soft Matter, Mathematical Methods in Physics, Classical Electrodynamics, and Mechanical Properties of Partially Ordered Fluids. Prior to this role, from March 5, 2011, to July 27, 2015, Aschi was a Lecturer at the Tunis Preparatory Engineering Institute (IPEI Tunis), where he taught integrated physics courses for the first Preparatory Engineering cycle. His earlier experience includes serving as an Associate Professor at the Bizerte Preparatory Engineering Institute (IPEI Bizerte) from September 19, 2002, to March 5, 2011, where he taught integrated physics courses for various preparatory cycles. He began his academic career as a Contractual Assistant at the Faculty of Sciences of Tunis (FST) from September 18, 1999, to September 19, 2002, conducting tutorials and practical work in various physics sections.

Adel Aschi is recognized as an expert peer reviewer for several prestigious international scientific journals, including AI Scholar Expert Reviewer (China) and Polymer Engineering & Science. His expertise has also earned him positions on the editorial boards of various journals, such as the American Journal of Modern Physics and the European Journal of Biophysics, where he has contributed significantly to the academic community.
