About

Imen Belhadj is a leading researcher in sustainable manufacturing and industrial engineering, with a focused expertise in disassembly planning and human-robot collaboration for circular economy applications. Her work addresses a critical challenge in end-of-life product management: how to efficiently and safely disassemble complex industrial products for recycling and reuse. Belhadj’s most-cited paper, “Product disassembly planning and task allocation based on human and robot collaboration” (2022, 39 citations), introduces a novel framework that optimally assigns disassembly tasks between human workers and robots, balancing safety, efficiency, and cost. Her earlier work, “Parallel disassembly approach with recycling rate calculation of industrial products” (2021, 28 citations), develops a parallel disassembly methodology that significantly reduces processing time while maximizing material recovery rates. Together, these contributions have garnered over 67 citations, reflecting their impact on both academia and industry. Belhadj’s research is particularly notable for integrating real-world recycling metrics into disassembly algorithms, providing actionable tools for manufacturers seeking to comply with stricter environmental regulations. Her work stands at the intersection of automation, sustainability, and operations research, offering scalable solutions for the green transition in manufacturing.
