Ahmed Meghzifene was born in Algeria in 1954. After a graduate degree in engineering in 1981, he entered the field of radiation dosimetry and obtained his PhD in 1989. He was a awarded a post-doc research grant and worked as a research fellow at the French Henri Becquerel Laboratory (1989) and the Canadian National Research Council (1991) dosimetry laboratory. He has experience in both clinical radiotherapy physics and also in standardization at the level of primary and secondary standards laboratories. After an extensive involvement in the establishment of dosimetry and medical physics infrastructure in his home country, he joined the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in 1997 as a radiation physicist and in charge of the IAEA/WHO Network Secondary Standards Dosimetry Laboratories (SSDLs). In 2007, he was appointed Section Head of the Dosimetry & Medical Radiation Physics Section of the IAEA and also co-secretary of the IAEA/WHO Network of SSDLs. During the past 15 years, his profile has a dominant component of international activities, co-authoring publications and reports on radiotherapy physics and dosimetry. In the recent years, he has developed a special interest and commitment to promote the medical physics profession and support education and clinical training activities in IAEA Member States. He has published over 20 papers, 2 book chapters and delivered numerous key note talks at international conferences.
