Biomedical Engineering PhD Student 🎓 with a focus on Neuro-AI 🤖🧠. Interested in dynamical biological and artificial systems with a focus on vision, decision-making, consciouness and brain disorders and building tools to address scientific questions.
Primarily supervised by Dr. Karim Jerbi at the Cognitive and Computational Neuroscience Lab, I am also collaborating with professors at Sainte-Justine Hospital on ADHD and epilepsy research and with the Neuroscience Department on decision-making studies. I am affiliated with Mila and the Faculty of Medicine at Université de Montréal.
I am a strong proponent of open science (I have started and contributed to some open-source projects and libraries—check GitHub) 👨🏻💻. I try to make an impact through my research as well as focusing on ethics & EDI 🌍, science accessibility 🔬, and raising awareness about AI's potential harms ⚠️.

My current and previous academic and professional endeavors.
Graduate Research Student
I joined the Computational & Cognitive Neuroscience Lab (CoCoLab) under the supervision of Dr. Karim Jerbi in 2022. Here, I completed my master's research and am now advancing my doctoral studies, focusing on the intersection of neuroscience and artificial intelligence.
Student & Researcher
I completed my MSc in Artificial Intelligence at Mila (2022-2024), where I did my coursework and engaged with AI community. While my PhD is not directly at Mila, I maintain an active affiliation with the institute.
Graduate Studies
I began my academic journey at UdeM through a graduation internship, followed by an MSc in Computer Science through a Mila. Currently, I am pursuing my PhD in Biomedical Engineering at the Faculty of Medicine, where I focus on the intersection of neuroscience and artificial intelligence.
Research Assistant
As part of my PhD journey, I am collaborating with Dr. Alexander G. Weil to investigate neurobiological markers associated with epilepsy and ADHD in pediatric populations, focusing on developing novel diagnostic approaches.
Graduate Research Student
During my MSc studies, I joined the Systems Neuroscience and AI Lab (SNAILab) under the supervision of Dr. Bakhtiari.
Research Lab
Following my pre-engineering studies, I pursued my education at SUPCOM, one of Tunisia's premier engineering institutions. Here, I completed my undergraduate studies and earned a national degree in Telecommunications Engineering.
