Farida Fassi FAAS (Arabic: فريدة الفاسي) is a Moroccan professor of physics at Mohammed V University in Rabat. She is the co-founder of the African Strategy for Fundamental Applied Physics and a member of African Academy of Sciences.

Life and education

Fassi was born in Larache where she attended middle and high school before moving to Tetouan to complete her university studies. She obtained her Bachelor of Science in Physics from Abdelmalek Essaâd University in 1996. After that, she moved to Spain, the University of Valencia, where she obtain her Master of Science in 1999. In 2003, she was awarded a Doctor of Philosophy in particle physics due to her work on the ATLAS experiment at CERN.

Career and research

Until 2003, Fassi was part of the ATLAS and Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) combined experiment team which later discovered the Higgs boson in 2012. After that, she worked in Grid Computing and Distributed Data Analysis. In 2007, Fassi was elected for a fellowship at CERN. Also, for thirteen years, she has been working in different post-doctoral and Research positions such as the Spanish National Research Council, the French National Centre for Scientific Research, and the Spanish Center for Particle, Astroparticle, and Nuclear Physics. She is a professor of physics at Mohammed V University in Rabat.
