1. Nancy, the 15th
of April 2015
To whom it may concern
This letter is intended to serve as recommendation for Abdelhafid ZEHRI. As a local
coordinator of the Erasmus Mundus AMASE master program, I have been acquainted with
Abdelhafid ZEHRI during the first year of the AMASE master program. This program
prepares high level scientists with good adaptability to the worldwide scientific context. The
study program of Abdelhafid ZEHRI is the following:
 From September 2013 to June 2014, M1 at University of Lorraine
 From September 2014 to July 2015, M2 at Lulea Tekniska Universitet.
I could verify during lectures I gave on “Characterization”, “Bibliographic project” and
“Phase transformations” that Mr Zehri could easily communicate and gained advanced
understanding of the related concepts. He was particularly active by asking relevant questions
during the lectures, which denotes a strong motivation and curiosity. He ended the M1 by
successfully passing all the exams with a general mark of 13.5/20.
I am convinced that Abdelhafid ZEHRI will positively influence your research activities
related to materials science and engineering. For these reasons I highly recommend for the
position you offer. Feel free to contact me if you need further details.
