About
Teaching, consulting and research in artificial intelligence
Head of the Computer Science Department at ITBS since 2021, I lead curriculum updates for the department's programs, from bachelor's to engineering and master's level, and oversee their degree approval (habilitation) and accreditation files. A lecturer at the school since 2019, I teach computer science, data and artificial intelligence.
As an Expert Consultant-Trainer at ORSYS and an artificial intelligence consultant with Osswa International Group, I also work as an expert trainer in machine learning, deep learning and generative AI for universities, schools, companies and organizations, in Tunisia and abroad.
A PhD student at the SMART Lab of ISG Tunis, I pursue AI research that began in computer vision and augmented reality.
