~ Post-doctoral Research Fellow ~

Short Bio.

Since September 2021, I joined the Wimmics group (I3S laboratory) led by Fabien Gandon and based in Sophia Antipolis, Nice (France). As a post-doctoral researcher, my main work focuses on semantic modelling approaches and methods for building knowledge graphs (KGs) from heterogeneous data sources (CSV files, JSON data, textual data) based on Linked data and Semantic Web technologies (RDF, OWL, SPARQL). I am also responsible for designing and building various (web) applications on these graphs to meet the requirements gathered from experts in the framework of the interdisciplinary research project D2KAB (From Data to Knowledge in Agriculture and Biodiversity).


From September 2011 to August 2021, Assistant Professor, member of Computer Science Department at the Institute of Management of Tunis (Tunisia). My main responsibilities include the preparation of course materials and exams as a lead instructor of undergraduate and postgraduate courses, supervision of final year (B.Sc. and M.Sc.) students' projects, participation in departmental activities, organization of computer certification training sessions for students.


From Oct. 2019 - June 2021 Associate Researcher, Biware Consulting Main responsibilities include the supervision of master students in collaboration of an internal Biware team to design and build an analytic application in order to analyze the employee’s interactions collected from the database of an in-house mobile application. The main goal is to identify key players in the employee's network and their typical interaction patterns. The analysis has led to the development of a series of decisional dashboards offred to the HR department.


September 2015-June 2021, Coordinator of a Master Program on Information Systems Security Institute of Management of Tunis
