Biography

I received a M.Sc. degree in Electrical Engineering from the National School of Applied Sciences in Morocco. Then I got a second M.Sc. degree in Embedded Systems from Lorraine University in France.

I am currently a Ph.D. candidate in Electrical engineering at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology KAUST. I am passionate about combining artificial intelligence with embedded systems to build smart and low cost devices such as: smart surveillance cameras, preventive diagnostic cameras, autonomous robots …
