Brief Biography:
Ridha HAMBLI is currently a Professor of Biomechanics and the Director of the Research group of Biomechanics and mechanobiology of bone at PRISME Institute in Orleans University in France. He studied Mechanical engineering at Ecole Centrale de Nante, France and he received his doctoral degree in 1996 from Ecole National Superieur des Arts et Metiers of Angers, France. Subsequently, he worked as a project manager in from Ecole National Superieur des Arts et Metiers for twxo years and than as associate professor at Institut des Sciences et Techniques d'Angers - France. In 2006, he moved to University of Orleans as a full professor where he was involved in teaching and research activities related to biomechanics and mechanobiology of bone.
He is an author of about 200 refereed publications and abstracts in international scientific journals and conference proceedings. He organized several research events and symposiums in relation with his research activities and he acts as a reviewer in several international journals. He also acts as reviewer expert for several organizations in the field of biomechanics.

What I think of the idea behind WebmedCentral:
This is a very smart idea to offer the possibility to researcher publish their works. I noticed that the number of people doing research in the field of Biomechanics is increasing. Nevertheless, the number of journals is the same. In addition, younger generation of researchers are making innovative works but old generation who control the existing journals and who act as reviewers reject lot of interesting works (conflict of interest)
