The IRIS team addresses security issues related with critical systems. Critical systems cover a large variety of domains like transportation, energy and water distribution, chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturing... An adversity in these systems may result in injury, loss of life or environmental damage. These systems have to continue operating in the face of adversity, whether it comes from a malicious activity or not. The aim of the IRIS team is to prevent or mitigate the threat of malicious activities and harden the architecture of critical systems. Our application scope goes from civil to military contexts and concerns the confidentiality, integrity and availability of these systems.
To provide the security of these systems, the IRIS team focuses on three research topics: cyber-protection, cyber-defense and cyber-resilience, as it is depicted on the following figure.

"To be a Data Scientist, you need to be better at mathematics than most developers, and better at programming than most mathematicians." Dr. Mohamed TOUATI
A Data Scientist leverages data to identify and solve complex problems. Some focus on the client side: understanding business challenges, adapting machine-learning models, and testing them to deliver the best possible predictive performance. Others work more on the R&D side: inventing new algorithms and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, often without direct client interaction.
There isn’t a single school that makes you a Data Scientist. Most come from strong scientific backgrounds whether in mathematics, biology, physics, or related fields and build the technical and analytical skills needed to bridge data and real-world impact.
I’m a qualified and results-driven doctoral researcher and data scientist, currently pursuing a PhD focused on deep learning and medical imaging for diabetic retinopathy classification.
Throughout my career, I have built solid experience across research, consulting, and industry roles, including:
Lead Data Scientist at DNA Global Analytic (Geneva
Project Lead at iConnectServices (Tunis)
I have applied data science in domains working with very large and complex datasets, such as biology, physics, and social sciences, and have hands-on experience with sensor data standards and sensor systems.
With over years and yers of practical experience, my expertise spans:
Supervised & unsupervised learning
Classification models & cluster analysis
Neural networks & non-parametric methods
Multivariate statistics, reliability models, Markov and stochastic models
Bayesian models and document evaluation for NLP corpora
📌 Engineering & algorithm development:
Image processing: segmentation, filter design, noise reduction, compression, image fusion, super-resolution
Computer vision: target acquisition, tracking, optical flow, Kalman filtering, pose estimation
Computational imaging: compressive sensing, synthetic aperture radar (SAR), Doppler beam sharpening
Deep learning: classification, detection, siamese networks, residual learning, deep embeddings, recurrent networks
Machine learning for classification & regression: support vector machines, probabilistic models, neural networks
Domain-specific signal processing: multi/hyper-spectral, RF, IR, SAR
🔧 Technical skills & tools:
Python (including PyTorch, TensorFlow, OpenCV)
MATLAB, Simulink, Stateflow
Model-Based Design
Agile software development methodologies
My work combines deep technical knowledge with a strong focus on delivering analytics-driven solutions that address real-world problems in healthcare, industry, and beyond.
